Soft Reset Your iPhone 7
If your iPhone mobile has become slow down and takes too much time to respond, you can solve the issue by using a Soft Reset method. This method is enough to refresh your iPhone 7. This will stop the troublesome apps and restart all the functions, without harm to the data in your mobile phone. Simply this can be called rebooting.

The term soft reset is a little bit changer than a simple restart or ‘power cycle’. This switches the phone off and on repeatedly. Follow these steps to do the Soft Reset
Keep pressing the sleep/off button and the volume button altogether for about 10 seconds.
