If your iPhone 8 Plus does not respond......as you are telling us.....then you will not be able to do the following:


Tap Settings > General

Scan down to Transfer or Reset iPhone

Tap Erase All Content and Settings

Follow the Prompts


If you cannot do this, the only way to reset the iPhone is use a Mac or PC. If you don't have a computer, take your iPhone to a friend's house who does have a computer.


If you do not have any friends, take your iPhone to a Best Buy store or to an authorized Apple service shop.
