How to turn off iPhone without the power button

Have a broken Top or Side button? Follow along for how to turn off iPhone without the power button. We’ll also look at how to use AssistiveTouch to lock your iPhone screen and more.

Originally arriving with iOS 11, you can power down your iPhone even if the power button isn’t working. This isn’t something you’ll likely need to use often, but if you drop your phone, have a malfunction, or encounter some other issue with the power button (officially Top or Side button depending on your iPhone model), this is a handy feature.

This feature is also helpful for people who make use of accessibility features, like those who may have difficulty squeezing buttons.

  1. Navigate to Settings > General
  2. Swipe down and tap Shut Down
  3. Swipe the power off slider from left to right
