Check for Software Update
Make sure that your iPhone has the latest version of the iOS software. It is really easy to update your device.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap General.
- Tap Software Update.
- If there is an update available, follow the onscreen instructions to install the updates on your iPhone.
Update All Apps
Just as you would like your operating system to be as recent as possible, you also need to do the same for your apps. Outdated apps run the risk of causing incompatibility issues with the operating system, which may, in turn, leads to more problems.
The general rule is to always keep apps updated, especially after you’ve installed iOS updates recently. Old apps may not work properly with recent Apple products and operating system so app developers must keep up by ensuring that their products are as bug-free as possible.
Reset All Settings
A lot of iPhone users have found the trick of resetting all settings to work with all sorts of camera app issues so why not try it as well. Resetting your iPhone settings will make some changes to your device.
- Tap on the Settings icon from the home screen on your iPhone.
- Tap on General.
- Next, scroll down to the bottom and tap on Reset.
- Select Reset All Settings from the given options. This will erase the system settings and restore the original values or defaults without affecting internal data.
- If prompted, enter your device passcode to continue.
- Then tap Reset All Settings again to confirm.
Your iPhone should reboot automatically when the reset is complete. After the reset, configure individual options and enable core features including Wi-Fi networks to use them again on your device.
Last but not the least, you can reset your iPhone settings and data completely to run your device in the default settings.
- Go to the iPhone Settings > General > Reset.
- Select Erase All Contents and Settings > choose Erase Now.
- You have to enter the passcode if prompted.
- Tap on Erase iPhone.
- Then tap on Erase iPhone again to continue the action.
- If prompted, enter your Apple ID and password.
- Then tap on Erase to continue.
- Wait for it and it will reboot your iPhone.
Restore your iPhone in iTunes via Recovery Mode
It’s an advanced type of iOS restore you can do when dealing with more intricate system errors that caused a device to malfunction. In this case, you will need to put your iPhone in a recovery mode state first and then restore iOS in iTunes.
- Press and quickly release the Volume Up button.
- Press and quickly release the Volume Down button.
- Press and hold the Side/Power button when you see the Connect to iTunes screen. Do not release the buttons when you see the Apple logo since you’ll need to enter recovery mode.
- On the next screen, you should see the option to Restore or Update.
- Select Update first to update iOS. Otherwise, select the option to Restore.
Wait for iTunes to attempt to reinstall iOS without erasing your data. iTunes then downloads the software for your device. If the download takes more than 15 minutes, your iPhone exits the Connect to iTunes screen. If this happens, wait until the download is finished then go back to the previous steps to enter recovery mode again.
Restore your iPhone in iTunes via DFU mode
It’s regarded as the deepest type of system restore you can do on your iPhone. It allows your device to communicate with iTunes on a computer without loading the operating system or bootloader
Here’s how to perform a DFU mode restore on your iPhone 8:
- Close any running programs on your computer.
- Connect your iPhone to your computer using the Apple-supplied USB connector or Lightning cable.
- While your phone is connected, press and hold the Side/Power button for about 3 seconds.
- Keep pressing on the Side/Power button then press and hold the Volume Down button for about 10 seconds. If the Apple logo appears, it means you’ve held the buttons too long and that you’ll have to start all over again.
- If you see no logo, release the Side/Power button but keep holding the Volume Down button for another 5 seconds.
- If the screen stays black afterward, it means that you have successfully entered DFU mode. At this point, you will be prompted with an alert message on your computer saying that iTunes has detected your iPhone. If you see that message, follow the onscreen prompts to complete the DFU mode recovery process.
- If you see the Plug into iTunes screen, it means you haven’t entered DFU mode and that you will need to start all over again.
If none of that works, then most likely what you’re dealing with is a hardware problem.
