If you just got your first iPhone, you probably don't know how to turn it off. You may have pressed the side button but didn't see the shutdown screen. But don't worry, it's easy! And there are many ways to turn off your iPhone.
1. Turn off iPhone with physical button
If you have an iPhone X or newer with Face ID, pressing the side button (aka the power button) will activate Siri on your iPhone instead of turning it off. So how do you actually turn off your iPhone?
First, press and hold the side button and either volume button. When the shutdown screen appears, release the buttons and drag the power slider to the right. According to Apple, the shutdown process takes about 30 seconds to complete.
You can also press and release the volume up button, then press the volume down button, then hold the side button until you see the Apple logo. This method will immediately stop any running apps and force the iPhone to restart. It's similar to unplugging a computer, so only do this if your iPhone is frozen.
2. Turn off iPhone from Control Center
Starting with iOS 18, you can also turn off your iPhone from the new and improved Control Center. This can be useful if your iPhone's hardware buttons are malfunctioning.
To do this, just swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen to access Control Center, then press and hold the power icon in the top-right corner. When you see the power off slider, drag it to the right to turn off your iPhone.
3. Use Siri to Power Off iPhone
Apple's voice assistant can turn off any iPhone with a simple command. Just say " Hey Siri, turn off my iPhone " and confirm hands-free by replying "Yes" or tapping Power Off in the prompt.
This even works with iPhones in Airplane Mode, since shutting down is one of the requests Siri can handle without an Internet connection.
4. Turn off iPhone via settings
Another way to turn off your iPhone without using the hardware buttons is to use the Settings app . Just go to Settings > General > Shut Down and then drag the power off slider to confirm the action.
5. How to Turn Off an Unresponsive iPhone
While there are a number of ways to turn off your iPhone, you may run into trouble if your iPhone doesn't respond to button presses or the screen is frozen. In that case, you'll need to wait for the battery to drain.
If the problem persists after restarting, you should force restart your iPhone and enter Recovery mode to restore using your computer.
You don’t need to restart your iPhone regularly, but doing it at least once a week can be beneficial. A quick restart will clear out all running apps, clear memory, and reload iOS, often solving performance, battery usage, and software issues. It’s a good idea to memorize some, if not all, of the methods listed above so that shutting down your iPhone becomes a habit.
