Do this Force restart iPhone - Apple Support and then try again.

Is your iPhone frozen? If so, refer to the following...

An iPhone 8, as shown in your tag line, has a home button, as such there is no option to swipe from the bottom of the screen. You click the home button once, to exit apps, or twice to access the App switcher and close them entirely.

Darn it, good eye Phil.

Ahh, I see, in that case razmee's advice is the correct one to follow.

Ha, ha too bad it does not apply. 😜

That is why I don't usually trust tag lines. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Press volume up shortly, then volume down shortly, then the power button until you see the Apple logo, then try again.
