iPhone 7: carry out a soft reset - how it works

If your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus no longer works properly, you can carry out a soft reset at any time. In this practical tip we will show you how.

Perform a soft reset on iPhone 7 - how it works

• The soft reset forces the iPhone 7 to restart. This is particularly helpful if the smartphone stops responding. If you want to switch your iPhone off and on again for other reasons, the soft reset is also helpful.
• Since the iPhone 7, the process for the soft reset has changed a bit. This is because the home button is no longer pressed, but only touched.
• To perform a soft reset, simply press and hold the power button and the volume down button for around 10 seconds. When the Apple logo appears, you can release the buttons. The iPhone 7 now restarts.
