If your iPhone is stuck on black screen or is frozen and won’t respond to touch or any other actions, then this guide is for you. You can follow the steps outlined in this tutorial to fix iPhone stuck on black screen issue.

Force Restart iPhone
You can quickly force restart your iPhone by following the steps below.
- Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
- Press and quickly release the Volume Down button.

In case your iPhone is frozen in an app or home screen, then you can follow the exact same steps as shown above however instead of waiting for the Apple logo you have to hold the side button until your iPhone’s screen turns off and let go of the button. Then once the screen turns off press the side button once again and hold it until the Apple logo appears.
Charge your iPhone
If a force restart has not fixed your issue and your iPhone is still stuck on a black screen, then you should do the following.
- Plug the iPhone into a charger and let it charge for 1 hour.
- If a low battery icon appears on the screen, then be patient and let the iPhone finish charging before unplugging it.
- If there’s no response from your iPhone change the charging cable and charging brick and try charging for 1 hour once again.
Connect it to a computer
You can also connect your iPhone to a computer and open Finder on Mac and iTunes on Windows. If your iPhone gets detected perform a quick backup, and then update or restore iOS. Doing so can solve any software-related issues that you might be facing with it.
