- Look at the top of the phone for the power button.
- Press and hold both the power button and the home button for at least 10 seconds

Rebooting will save more memory space because typically apps continue running in the background of your phone which may cause battery drain, slowness, heat, and other conflicts. Rebooting becomes necessary when all efforts to deal with this fail. Quitting apps and rebooting your iPhone flushes the memory and the fragmentation.
As you can see from the Six steps explained above, this is not a problem that needs to lead you to the iPhone repairs centre unless there are more technical problems that you want to get fixed.
There are multiple reasons why you’re supposed to restart your phone at least once a week, and it’s for a good cause: retaining memory, preventing crashes, running more smoothly, and prolonging battery life.
