Got iPhone locked? Here's what you can do

If you've ever found yourself in the situation of having your iPhone locked, you certainly know how scary it can be to be without access to your data, personal information, and all the photos and videos in storage. You may even have the idea of ​​turning directly to customer support from the store where you purchased the iPhone, but before you do so, Business Insider tells you that there are certain things you should try that might unlock your device.
One such solution is to connect the smartphone to the charger, thus causing a reaction with the power charging. Let it charge for about 30 minutes without moving it and then try again.
Another good solution is to force iPhone to restart by pressing the available buttons in a certain order. On newer models (starting from iPhone 8) you can do this by pressing the volume up, volume down and then holding down the 'Power' button. These commands will bring up the Apple logo on the screen, effectively restarting the iPhone. If these two solutions do not work, you can always connect your iPhone to your computer, access iTunes, and try to troubleshoot some issues through the system.
If, on the other hand, none of this results then it is because it is time to turn to customer support. Good luck! Miguel Dias
