This happens a lot, especially on those old phones or devices with full storage space. What people usually do is restart their phones or turn them off and on. When this doesn't work, we usually remove the battery from the phone and everything goes back to normal. However, some modern phones do not have this option because their batteries cannot be removed. Don't worry, we will tell you what to do and how to do it.

Depending on your phone, here are some steps you need to follow to restart it:
Apple (iOS8 or more)
- Click Volume Up once
- Click Volume Down once
