Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a bind with my iPhone 15. It keeps showing a notification about 'allowing critical alerts' and it won't go away. I can't force restart my phone because it just tries to call emergency services instead. Unfortunately, I can't access Apple's support online since I can't verify my Apple ID on my phone. I also don't have access to other numbers or devices right now. I really need help with this as I rely on my phone for work over the next few days. Thanks so much!

You might want to try a forced restart once more. Just make sure to remove any case first. Here’s how:
1. Quickly press and release the volume up button.
2. Immediately press and release the volume down button.
3. Now, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears, then let go of it.

The screen is black now—this might be the fix I needed! Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was pressing the buttons too slowly because of my case. You really helped me out! ❤️
