5 Ways to fix a frozen iPhone screen!

If you’ve been having issues with your iPhone screen not being as responsive as it used to be, here are a few quick and easy ways that might solve your issue.

  • Clean your screen!
    • Our iPhones and iPads are always on the go with us and because of this they gather a lot of dirt and gunk on the screen which can affect the screen and devices performance.
    • Screen wipes or a soft, micro-fibre cloth are the best ways to clean your screen.
  • Updating Apps also deleting and reinstalling them
    • You may notice a particular app is freezing the iPhone screen or isn’t performing like it should.
    • Firstly, check for an update on the App Store as the developer may have fixed a known bug/issue in the app.
    • Secondly, you can delete the app and re-install it from the App Store.
  • Do a hard reboot
    • Doing a hard reboot is normally the best way to solve any screen unresponsiveness but also any other performance issues that your phone might be having.
    • If your device is an iPhone 6s or older, hold down the home button and the lock/power button at the same time until you see the Apple logo then let it reboot.
    • If your device is an iPhone 7 hold the volume down button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until it reboots.
  • Clear up storage space
    • If your device is low on storage space then it will start to slow down and this can affect screen responsiveness.
    • You can check your storage space in, Settings > General > Storage and iCloud Usage > Manage Storage.
    • Try and keep at least 1GB of available space on your device.
  • Still having issues? Do a full restore
    • If none of the above methods have worked then you might need to do a full restore.
    • Firstly, make sure your device is backed up either on iTunes or iCloud.
    • Then erase the data and settings and restore from the backup.
