In this guide we’ll quickly explain how to reboot a frozen Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL. If your phone is unresponsive or acting funny, this is the quickest and easiest way to fix it. Google’s new Pixel has a lot to like, but it’s not Pixel perfect.

You can easily fix most minor problems with a simple reboot. However, that isn’t always an option, especially if the phone is frozen or completely unresponsive. Plus, there’s no removable battery. So, if you’re facing problems, our instructions below will help you fix it in a matter of seconds.

Instructions

This will not erase any data or information from your phone.

  1. Press and hold down the Power button on the top right side of the phone
  2. Hold the Power button down for 7-10 seconds, or until the phone vibrates and restarts
  3. If the phone shuts down instead, let go, then press power again for 1-2 seconds to restart the phone

It’s that simple and makes sense if you really think about it. Holding the power button down for a few seconds gives you the option to turn it off or reboot the phone. If it’s not working at all, just hold down the power button for a little longer. (That’s the button on the top right side of the phone)

In closing, that’s all there is to this how to. It’s extremely simple to quickly reboot the Pixel 3 if it’s frozen, malfunctioning, or just acting funny. This is the easiest way to fix almost any little problem you’ll face day-to-day.
