How to Hard Reset iPhone 11: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

June 11, 2025 By Steven

A force restart is sometimes casually called a hard reset, but it does not erase an iPhone 11. Use it when the phone is frozen or will not respond. A factory reset is a completely different procedure that deletes your data.

  1. Quickly press and release the Volume Up button.
  2. Quickly press and release the Volume Down button.
  3. Press and hold the Side button.
  4. Keep holding the Side button when the screen goes dark, and release it when the Apple logo appears.

If you actually want to erase the iPhone 11, use Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings after making a backup. Do not use that erase option merely to fix a frozen screen.
