Turning off an iPhone is a simple procedure that takes just a few seconds. You may need or want to power down your phone for a variety of reasons. This could include updating or restoring the device, showing respect in a quiet environment, or troubleshooting. It’s an important basic task to know, so here is how to turn off your iPhone.
Instructions
Press and hold the “Sleep/Wake” button. This button is located on the top right of the iPhone. Holding it activates the power off button.
Drag the "Slide to Power Off" button on the screen to the right. This will turn off the device immediately and will close all running apps.
Wait for the iPhone to shut down. When the device is completely powered off, the iPhone’s display will turn black.
Notes
• To turn your iPhone back on, press and hold the “Sleep/Wake” button again. It will take a few seconds for the Apple logo to appear on the screen.
• If you would prefer to shut your iPhone down without the on-screen power off button, press and hold both the “Sleep/Wake” button and the “Home” button simultaneously for a few seconds. This will prompt your phone to shut down.
