Honestly, I’m gonna politely disagree with making a force restart your first move every time. While the steps mentioned above definitely work, I’ve seen people wear out their physical buttons by doing that too often—and trust me, getting those repaired on a iPhone+13+Pro+Max&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">iPhone 13 Pro Max is basically a nightmare for your wallet if you’re out of warranty!!! Since you're looking for the best way to handle this, here’s a more "cost-conscious" approach to troubleshooting first: - **Try the Software Shutdown:** Go to Settings > General > Shut Down. It’s much gentler on the OS and saves your buttons from unnecessary wear and tear.
- **Check your Storage:** Tbh, most glitches happen because the storage is nearly full. Clearing out a few GBs of old photos is free and usually fixes the lag better than a restart anyway!
- **Data Loss Risk:** To answer your question—no, a hard reset shouldn't wipe your data? Usually, it's totally fine. But there’s always a tiny, tiny risk of file corruption if the phone was mid-write, I think? Not 100% sure, but it's rare. Basically, I’d try the software toggle first to keep the device in top shape for when you eventually want to trade it in!
