iPhone restart and hard reset shortcuts

Many a time, your iPhone goes out of your control and start behaving abnormally.

With constrained storage space, it becomes difficult to manage your device. This may lead to hanging and poor performance and sometimes it becomes non-responsive. Let us know how can we handle such situations without any hurdle.
