IDevice Help Here: A Guide to Overcoming iPhone 7 and Later Freezing Glitch

What's Up Guys, IDevice Help Here!

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has sent me links to this video on Twitter. Your inundation of my inbox with these links was overwhelming, but I appreciate your concern for the latest devices and their potential issues.

The purpose of this video is to show you how to get out of trouble if someone sends you a link that could cause your iPhone 7, 7+, 6, 6s, 6 plus, or 6s plus to freeze. Yes, it's a bug on the latest devices running iOS 9, 8, 10, and 10 point 1, 10.2.

When you play this video, which could be sent as a link through a text message, your iPhone will freeze within the next 10 seconds or so. It won't want to do anything, and you'll find that you can't use the power button or home button. The only thing you can do is hard reset your device.

If you're new to iOS, this might be a bit tricky, especially on the latest iPhone 7 and 7 plus models. However, I'm here to help, so let's get started! To fix this issue, simply hold down the home and power buttons together for about 20 seconds until you see the Apple logo appear on your screen. Then, just let your device reboot like normal, and it should go back to its usual state.

Before we proceed, I want to mention that if someone sends you a link in the next couple of days, don't open it or click play. It's not worth the risk. Instead, be cautious and keep an eye out for any suspicious links. And, just for fun, if you want to prank someone with a link, make sure to check out the original source below.

Testing the Glitch

To test this glitch, I've created two videos using my iPhone 6s plus (yes, s plus) running iOS 10.1 and my other devices, including an iPhone 7, 7+, and an older model like an iPhone 4s. The results are pretty conclusive – if you play the video on your newer device, it will freeze within a few seconds.

However, when I test the same video on my older iPhone 6s plus running iOS 10.1, everything seems to be fine. The only issue is with newer devices like the iPhone 7 and 7+, which have solid-state home buttons. To resolve this issue, you'll need to use a harder reboot method that involves holding down the power and volume down buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds.

Hard Reboot Methods

To hard reboot your device safely:

* For older devices like the iPhone 6s plus or lower, press and hold the power button and home button together for 20 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

* For newer devices like the iPhone 7 and 7+, press and hold the volume down and power buttons simultaneously for 20 seconds.

It's worth noting that these reboot methods might take a bit longer than usual, but they'll ensure that your device is fully restarted and should resolve any freezing issues caused by this glitch.
