Nice to meet you, *****!
Could you tell me what you see on your iPhone 11 screen?
My iPhone 11 attempted an automatic update last night to IOS 16.1.2 . It is stuck "verifying Update," I tried powering the phone off, but it won't allow that either, because it its "verifying Update,"
Could you try pressing and holding the Power Button and Volume up button for 15 seconds?
The screen shows my background. The time and date. There are two notificationns I can see. One for Settings. One saying an error occured installing the update.. Then there is a huge bright banner saying "Verifying Update" witht he little wheel turning around. It has benn doning tit for hours.
Let us try to hard restart your iPhone first
My phone just called 911!
Noted, Let us try another way to reboot your phone
Press and quickly release the volume up button.
Press and quickly release the volume down button.
Press and hold the side button.
When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
Now my emergency page is shown. The phoe is not powering off.
If you see an emergency page, could you swipe from the bottom of the iPhone screen to get back to the iPhone main menu?
