My iPhone wouldn’t work, and I panicked. No one wants a phone that doesn’t respond, right? I thought I’d try a few things before rushing to a repair shop.
Here’s what I did. You can try these too:

Solution 1: Force Restart
Easy first step. Press Volume Up, then Volume Down. Hold the side button. Wait for the Apple logo. It’s a quick reset. Sometimes, this solves everything.
Solution 2: Delete Problematic Apps
Still stuck? Some apps cause trouble. I had to remove a few. Press and hold any app. Tap “Remove App,” then “Delete App.” Simple but powerful.
Solution 3: Clean the Screen
Is the screen dirty? Sometimes, dirt messes with touch. Grab a soft cloth. Wipe the screen gently. Don’t forget to remove any screen protector or case first. I thought this wouldn’t matter, but it does.
Solution 4: Update Your iPhone
Software bugs can freeze the screen. I went to Settings > General > Software Update. If there’s an update, install it. Updates fix issues in the background.
Solution 5: Visit an Expert
Nothing working? Maybe it’s time to ask a pro. You can head to an Apple Store or a repair center. Don’t waste time on endless DIY fixes. Let someone who knows their stuff handle it.
Sometimes, the simplest steps help. Sometimes they don’t. That’s life, right?
