How To Restart A Game On Your iPhone

Share This:

The iPhone has become one of the most powerful and versatile mobile devices in the world. Its popularity continues to grow as users have access to thousands of apps, games, and other features that make it an indispensable part of everyday life.

However, like any other device, sometimes you need to restart a game on your iPhone. Whether you want to start over after a bad score or just want to try something new, restarting a game can be a useful option. Fortunately, it’s not as difficult as it may seem.

There are two main ways to restart a game on your iPhone: force quitting the app and deleting and then redownloading the app. To force quit an application on your iPhone, simply double-click the home button at the bottom of your phone and then swipe up on the app you want to close. This will terminate the application and allow you to launch it again from scratch.

If this doesn’t work or if you’re looking for a more comprehensive reset of your game progress, deleting and redownloading the app is another option. Simply find the app in your App Store list or search for it in Spotlight and then delete it by pressing and holding down its icon until all icons start wiggling. Tap on the ‘x’ in the corner of the icon and confirm deleting it when prompted. Then open App Store again and download it once more.

It’s also worth noting that if you’ve saved progress from a game into iCloud, deleting and redownloading won’t necessarily reset all data associated with that game unless you also delete its data from iCloud too. To do this go into iCloud settings > Storage > Manage Storage > Select The Game > Delete Data From iCloud Storage.

Restarting games can be an easy way to get back into playing them after some time away or even just trying something different but remember that all progress within apps will be erased so only do this if absolutely necessary!

Restarting a Game from the Beginning

To restart a game from the beginning, you must force quit the application and launch it again. Depending on the platform you are playing on, you can usually do this by pressing the ‘Home’ or ‘Back’ button or keys. This will exit the application and return to your main screen. Then simply launch the game again. Your progress will be reset to the start of the game.

Restarting a Game on an iPhone

To start a game from the beginning on your iPhone, first, delete the app from your device. Once it has been removed, go to the App Store and download the app again. To ensure that all of your saved progress is erased, make sure you delete any data associated with the game in iCloud as well. After this step is complete, open the app and you should be ready to start anew!

Restarting a Game on iOS 15

To restart a game on iOS 15, first, open the game and look for an in-game Settings, Options, or Menu screen. This is usually indicated by a button with three horizontal lines or a gear icon. Once you’ve found the menu screen, search for an option to Reset, Restart, or Erase. Depending on the game, you may have to confirm that you want to reset your progress before it can be done. Once you’ve confirmed your choice, your game will restart and you’ll be taken back to the beginning of the game.
