I'm experiencing a major issue with my iPhone XR. I'm completely stuck in the Safari app and can't navigate back to the home screen, access the camera widget, or even power down my phone. The only thing I can do is interact within Safari itself. I really need some help to regain control of my phone!

If you’ve already tried restarting and waiting for the battery to die, you might need to connect your device to a charger when it dies and wait for a few minutes before trying to turn it on again. It can sometimes help reset the system.
Have you tried forcing a restart? It’s a common fix for these kinds of locked-up situations. To do it, take off any case, then quickly press and release the volume up button, followed by the volume down button, and finally, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears. That should help!
If forcing a restart didn't work, you might want to let the battery drain completely. Sometimes, just allowing the phone to shut off automatically can reset whatever glitch is happening. Just be patient and see if that helps.
Thank you! This worked perfectly and got my phone back to normal!
