How to Access Recovery Mode on your iPhone and iPad?

Apple doesn’t provide any easy way or a single button to get into the recovery mode. It needed a bit of practice or proper knowledge of steps to reach the recovery menu. Recovery mode has many uses like taking a backup, factory data reset, and downgrading from the latest to the previous iOS version. Apple devices have a bit trickier way to get into the recovery mode.

•    If you are having an iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.  then follow these steps: Press and the side switch until you see slide to power off on your device screen and after that move your finger in the slider.

2. Now plug your connector cable which you get along with your Apple device. Into your computer.

Wrapping it up

Now you have reached the recovery menu in your iOS device. Do the things that are safe to do. Don’t try to play with the recovery mode because it can harm your phone or tablet.
