When your iPhone restarts unexpectedly, it may create inconvenient even disastrous results. It may cause you to lose data or miss important phone calls. Therefore it is really important to fix this problem now to prevent future occurrences.
Why Are My Apps Crashing
You may worry about viruses. Some viruses are designed to reboot or crash your computer. But do not worry about this. iPhone or iPad viruses are extremely rare.
This article will take you through some steps to fix it. Please note that the steps are listed in order, so start with the first one, and continue until your problem is resolved.
1. Force restart
This is also called a hard reset. But do not worry, it does not delete anything. Here is how you can force restart your device:
- iPhone with Face ID models, iPad with Face ID models, iPhone 8 models, and second (and later) generation iPhone SE models:
- Press and release the volume up button.
- Press and release the volume down button.
- Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo. And release the buttons and your device will restart.
- iPhone 7 models: Press and hold the volume down and the on/off (sleep/wake) buttons together until you see the Apple logo.
- Other iPhone models (iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, etc) and iPad with Home button models: Press and hold the on/off (sleep/wake) and the Home buttons together until you see the Apple logo.
2. Check for software updates
This includes:
- iOS or iPadOS updates.
- Check for app updates.
Check for iOS or iPadOS software updates, and if there is an update available, then update your iPhone or iPad. Here is how:
- Tap Settings.
- Tap General.
- Tap Software Update.
- And if there is an update available, follow the onscreen instructions.
Furthermore, make sure that all of your apps are up to date. On your iPhone or iPad, update your apps. Here is how:
- On your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store app.
- Tap Today.
- Tap your profile icon.
- Scroll down and find the Available Updates section.
- Tap Update All, if there are updates.
A poorly designed app may cause your problem. Although installing apps is safe, some, especially outdated apps, apps may cause issues. If your problem occurs when you are using a certain app (e.g., when you are playing a game), it is highly possible that that app is causing your problem. You may want to delete this app or contact its developer for further help.
3. Battery health
As your battery gets old, it may cause your iPhone or iPad to start to shut down unexpectedly.
The level of your device's battery health may cause this problem. On your device go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health. This page will tell if your battery requires service. So you will know if you need a new battery.
Please check this web site for further help. Your battery can be replaced if your iPhone or iPad is still covered by warranty or AppleCare. Apple charges anywhere from $69 to $49 for an out-of-warranty replacement battery.

4. Check storage and free up space
Your iPhone or iPad requires enough storage. Low storage or no available storage is can be a cause of the iPhone or iPad restarting. First, check your storage to find out what's taking up the most space on your iPhone or iPad. Then you may want to delete some apps or photos etc to make storage space available.
Your device requires enough storage to run properly. And the lack of free storage space will reduce your device performance. For best performance, try to maintain at least 1GB of free space on your device.
Go to Settings > General > [Device – iPhone or iPad] Storage to see your device's storage. You can learn, for example, which apps are taking the most space. You may also see a list of recommendations that you may want to follow.

Overheating can be a reason for this issue. Learn what to do when your iPhone or iPad gets hot. This is not common. If your iPhone or iPad overheats, you should try to cool it down.

Your best option is to contact Apple Support (direct link) and get it repaired or replaced by reserving a Genius Bar appointment.
6. Reset your device to factory settings and restore
