You want to put your iPhone in recovery mode, but you don't know how. If your iPhone has serious issues, you'll need to use this feature. However, putting an iPhone in recovery mode isn't always obvious, especially because the procedure varies each model.
No matter
whatever model you have, we'll teach you how to put your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
touch into recovery mode.
Explained: Force Restarting and iPhone Recovery Mode
Hopefully,
you won't have to force restart your iPhone very frequently and you won't have
to put it into recovery mode too often. However, knowing what to do in the
event that something goes wrong is crucial.
You can
force restart your device if it becomes fully unresponsive and you can't shut
it down normally. Instead of waiting for the battery to run out, you may force
restart it. A force restart is essentially the same as unplugging your
computer's power cord, since it compels your iPhone to shut down and restart many
business listings.
Recovery
mode takes this a step further, allowing you to restore iOS by connecting your
iPhone to a computer that is running iTunes (or using Finder on macOS Catalina
and newer). You'll need to put your iPhone into recovery mode if it won't boot,
crashes on start-up, or stays stuck on the Apple logo for an extended period of
time.
You'll lose
all of your data on your iPhone if you reinstall iOS. This isn't an issue if
you regularly backup your iPhone, which you can do using iCloud or locally in
iTunes or Finder. In recovery mode, you won't be able to back up your device
because the process will only allow you to restore the firmware.
As a result,
if your iPhone won't turn on and you don't have a backup to restore, there's
nothing you can do to rescue your data.

time faster.
