Hard resetting your iPhone running iOS 11 is an easy way to fix minor issues that your phone may encounter after you’ve used it for a few months. Although hard resetting does not guarantee that the issue would be fixed, being the easiest and most straightforward approach, it’s still worth trying.
When you hard reset:

■The apps that may crash unexpectedly are fixed
■Any issues with iOS updates are fixed
■The RAM is freed from the apps that occupy unnecessary space
■The unresponsive buttons of your device are fixed (as long as they’re not physically damaged)
■The unresponsive apps in your iPhone are fixed

Earlier, the Home button played a significant role in hard resetting iPhones. However, the use of Home button remarkably changed over the years up to the level that the most recently released iPhone X (at the time of this writing) doesn’t even have it anymore.
That said, the process of hard resetting iPhones now varies in different models that can be divided into three categories:
- ■iPhone 6S Plus and Earlier (Including iPhone SE)
■iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
■iPhone 8 and Above
Here’s how you can hard reset the iPhones from each category:
Category 01 – iPhone 6S Plus and Earlier (Including iPhone SE)
- ■Press down and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears.
■Release the buttons when the logo comes up, and wait while your iPhone boots normally.
Category 02 – iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
- ■Press down and hold both Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears.
■Release the buttons when the logo comes up, and wait while your iPhone boots normally.
Category 03 – iPhone 8 and Above
- ■Press and release the Volume Up button
■Quickly press and release the Volume Down button
■Press down and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears.
■Release the button when the logo comes up, and wait while your iPhone boots normally.
