- Firstly, press the ‘Volume up’ button.

Solution 2: Close the App That Keeps Freezing
In case a single app is freezing a lot, then you can try to close the app or restart it by following the steps given below:
- Firstly, open the app switcher on your iPhone by double tapping on the home button (in case only a single button is present) or swipe up from the bottom of your screen (available from the iPhone X version).
- Once the app switcher opens, swipe the app upside to close it.
Alternatively, you can also delete the application’s cache or reinstall it on your iPhone.
Solution 3: Reset the Settings
If you cannot unfreeze the iPhone by following the above two solutions, you can try resetting all the settings.

By resetting the settings, the iPhone is switched back to the default settings without any data loss.
- Firstly, click on Settings → Navigate to the ‘General’ section and tap on the ‘Reset’ option.

Solution 5: Charge the iPhone
It is possible that the iPhone might start lagging or freezing whenever the battery is drained. In some iPhone models, if the battery is less than 10%, then it might take at least 20 minutes to turn on the screen.
