What should I do if Apple's home warning screen malfunctions

Feb 13,2025

When an Apple device displays a "home" warning and the screen malfunctions, you can try the following methods to solve the problem: 1. Force restart the device

IPhone 14 series and later models: Press the volume down button and quickly release it, then press the volume down button and quickly release it, and then press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.

Other iPhone models typically require holding down both the side (or top) button and any volume button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. 2. Update the operating system

If the problem is caused by a software error, updating to the latest iOS version may help resolve the issue. Go to "Settings">"General">"Software Updates" and check if there are any available updates. 3. Important warning to close the 'Home' app

If you don't need the "Home" app to push important warnings, you can find the "Home" app in "Settings">"Notifications" and turn off the "Important Warning" option. This may solve the screen malfunction issue caused by the warning. 4. Uninstall the 'Home' app

If there is still a problem after turning off the warning and you do not need to use the "Home" app, you can consider uninstalling the app. This can be done by long pressing the app icon and selecting 'Delete App'. 5. Clean the screen and check the hardware

Sometimes, dust or dirt on the surface of the screen may affect its normal operation. Gently wipe the screen surface with a cleaning cloth or tissue.

If the device is hit or dropped, it may cause hardware failure. Check for external damage to the device and consider contacting Apple's official or professional repair personnel for inspection and repair. 6. Reset device settings

If none of the above methods work, you can try resetting all settings of the device. Go to "Settings">"General">"Reset">"Reset All Settings". This will clear all device settings, but will not delete data. 7. Restore factory settings

As a last resort, if the problem persists, you can consider restoring the factory settings. Go to "Settings">"General">"Reset">"Factory Reset". This will delete all data and settings, so please make sure to backup important data first. 8. Check the network connection and power adapter

Sometimes, network connectivity issues or power adapter failures can also affect the normal operation of the device. Check if the network connection is stable and ensure that the power adapter is not damaged and compatible with the device. 9. Contact Apple technical support

If none of the above methods can solve the problem, it is recommended to contact Apple's technical support team for more professional assistance.

Be cautious when dealing with these issues and ensure that all important data has been backed up just in case.
