How to turn off iPhone without a button?

And we come to the most interesting thing - how to turn off the iPhone if the Home or Power button does not work?

Let's go in order. The creators of iOS-based technology have come up with methods to shut down and restart without the top lock button or the central home key. The function we need is called "Assistive Touch" and is based on the principle of touching the display.

2. Next, you need to scroll the page to the "Interaction" block and select the "Assistive Touch" item.
   Or you can go to "Settings" and start writing the word "Assistive" in the search field and the iPhone itself will suggest the necessary item.
3. The next step is to drag the activation slider of the function we need to the “Enabled” position (on new versions of iOS, the background of the slider turns green in this position). After turning on, a square gray-white button should appear on the screen, which is responsible for this functionality.

6. The last step is to turn on the device - to do this, you need to connect the phone to a computer, laptop or netbook using a standard USB cable and it will automatically turn on in standard mode.
