Thank you! Watched lots of other videos that instruct you to hold the volume up/down button. Your video was the only one we could find with clear, concise instructions.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I don't know why but I was totally unable to get my Iphone 8 to force restart but after tapping exactly the way you did here it FINALLY worked. Saved my life as I had a phone interview in 30 minutes.

Thank you so much. I have been trying to find a video on how to do this for ages. Apple's FAQs are absolutely terrible and in no way helpful. You are a genius.

10/10 Great video, its really surprising how many times you gotta do this for an Iphone 8 plus, I should really right this step down at the back of my cover since I always forget how to do this step properly

Phone got black screen of death while I was going to go check on a lady's dog. I forgot the button combination and accidentally called 911. You've helped me with 2 black screens of death at this point. Thank you.

This was the best.... it was so helpful to see you do the hard reset. I tried it on my own and it just didn't work.

[billystar]

It worked! Thanks. I had a flashlight issue. It wouldn't turn on anymore and this forced restart fixed it.
