A reset, which some people call a hard restart, forces an iPhone to restart and is usually performed to fix a locked-up device or to troubleshoot technical glitches. If you are having problems with your iPhone and the reset does not solve your issue, restore the iPhone to return it to its factory settings. After it is restored, recover your data by syncing the iPhone with a backup file in iTunes on your computer to get the device back up and running. These backup files are created each time you sync the iPhone with iTunes. If you do not use your iPhone with a computer, you can wipe all content and settings directly from the iPhone and restore a backup from iCloud. Tips Warnings Writer Bio
