IOS – iPhone 8 Plus (iOS 11.4) is frozen on emergency SOS screen

iosiphone

Last evening I tried to add a system macroscript (Switch Control) recipe. After that my iPhone wasn't responding to any of touch moves. I managed to unlock it with Touch ID but I failed a couple of times and now it requires a password. I tried this:

  1. Subtle click the volume UP button.
  2. Subtle click the volume DOWN button.
  3. Hold the startup button until you see apple logo.

Instead of force restart I'm stuck in emergency SOS screen mode. Touch interface doesn't work, force restart is not possible now. What do I do?

Best Answer

iOS 11.4 is currently under development and you have either a developer or public beta installed on your device. Beta version of iOS are not guaranteed to work without issues.

Try restarting the device. If the issue persists, and it is hindering your workflow, it is recommended you restore the device to current public release of iOS, i.e. iOS 11.3.1.

You can share any observations and issue with Apple, via the Feedback app installed on your device.
