Switch off iPhone without power button

If the power button stops working, you have to turn off the iPhone without it. We'll show you how it's done.

Switch off iPhone with a defective power button

1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
2. Select the "General" menu item, scroll down a little and select "Accessibility" there.
3. You will also find the "AssistiveTouch" quite far below. You have to activate this.
4. After a few seconds, a small white circle appears on the edge of the display. If you tap this, a menu opens.
5. If you select the "Device" item here and hold your finger on the lock labeled "lock screen" for a long time, this has the same effect as pressing the power button.
6. Now you can drag the controller from left to right so that the device switches off.
