Is your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus not behaving as it should? Are you experiencing issues with your new iPhone? You should try to force reboot or hard reset iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus. There is no harm in doing that and in most cases, it fixes the most common problems.
In iPhone, a hard reset is a force reboot of the handset that helps in fixing problems such as frequent freezes, sluggish device performance and situations when it becomes hard to interact with anything on the device properly.
If you’ve previously owned an iPhone model, please note that the hard reset or force reboot process has changed in iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus. It means, pressing the Home + Power/Sleep button together won’t work on these new iPhone models.
Without any further ado, let’s get into the process of hard resetting iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus.
