Shutting down a phone can vary slightly depending on the type and model you have. Here are general instructions for both Android and iPhone devices:

For iPhone:

1. iPhone 8 and later:
   • Press and hold the side button and one of the volume buttons until the slider appears.
   • Drag the slider to turn off your iPhone.
2. iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:
   • Press and hold the side button until the slider appears.
   • Drag the slider to turn off your iPhone.
3. iPhone 6s and earlier:
   • Press and hold the top (or side) button until the slider appears.
   • Drag the slider to turn off your iPhone.

For Android:

1. Most Android devices:
   • Press and hold the power button until the power menu appears.
   • Tap on Power off or Shut down.
   • Confirm if prompted.
2. Samsung devices:

If your phone is unresponsive, you may need to perform a hard reset, which typically involves holding down the power button for an extended period (10-20 seconds) until the device turns off.
