Hello, thank you for using Howly.
What troubleshooting have you done with your iPhone 14 so far?
tried to turn it off but cant it wont do anything
Let`s start off with performing a force restart of your iPhone (it is different from regular restarting and is normally used in critical situations like yours):
- Press and quickly release the volume up button.
- Press and quickly release the volume down button.
- Press and hold the side button for at least 10-15 seconds.
- When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
When you will see 'Slide to power off, kindly ignore it and just keep pressing the side button until the screen goes pitch black
ok its seems to be working thank you
Should I guide you on what to do to avoid such from happening in the future?
yes
Sure.
Kindly do the following:
- Click on the 'Settings' icon on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and select 'Notifications'
- Look for the 'Home' option among the drop-down list of apps and select it.
Okay, you are done, right?
yes
Perfect, can you see 'Critical alerts' anywhere on your screen right now?
yes
its off
Okay, great!
You can keep it that way or turn it on if you are using it often.
Alternatively, you can remove the 'Home' app from your iPhone if you are not in need of it.
its gone
Good job! Such issue normally doesn`t reoccur after deleting the 'Home' app.
Is your phone working fine now?
yes it appears to be. thank you for your help. have a blessed day.
