Are you stuck on the lock screen on your iPhone? As far as the iPhone issues and problems go, there are many issues worse than being stuck on the lock screen of your iPhone. But, don’t worry. There are some things you can still do even if you can’t unlock the device straightaway. Without getting tensed, follow our instructions carefully to make the device useable just like before.
Fix – Force-reboot the iPhone
Only the Force-reboots procedure doesn’t need the iPhone to be unlocked. So, you must force-restart the iPhone to fix this issue.
Step 1 – At first, pinch the Volume Up button once on the left pane.
Step 2 – Now, you must do the same with the Volume down button as well.
Step 3 – This step is the final step. So, what you have to do is to press-hold the Power button. Do not stop pressing the Power button until the screen turns off.
As you continue pressing the Power button for 15–20 seconds, your iPhone will get switched off and get restarted automatically.
Step 4 – Use your 6-digit Apple ID code to unlock the device. Continue using the device and do test whether you can use it or not.
Fix 2 – Charge the iPhone
The force-restart method won’t work if the iPhone’s battery is too low.
Step 1 – You can easily distinguish the battery level directly from the status bar.
Step 2 – If the iPhone’s battery is too low, put the iPhone on charging mode.
Step 3 – Let it charge for an entire hour. After that, restart your iPhone.
Once you have restarted the iPhone, check whether you are still stuck to the lock screen or not.
Fix 3 – Contact Apple Support
If the iPhone still feels unresponsive on the lock screen, the problem may have raised from a hardware fault on the iPhone.
So, you should contact the Apple Support or reach out to your nearest Apple Store. Check if this works.
NOTE – The main problem here is that you can’t unlock the device. So, the scope of the troubleshooting steps are very limited. But, the force-restarting steps should be helpful.
If you are still stuck on the lock screen, we recommend you visit an authorized service center to troubleshoot it.
