If the above method doesn’t work, follow these steps:
1. **Force Restart**: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds. Release the buttons when the Apple logo appears.
2. **Update iOS**: Ensure your iPhone 15 is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for any available updates.
3. **Reset All Settings**: Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset All Settings. This will reset all settings to their default values without deleting any data.
