Is your iPhone’s display reacting without your input, where apps are opening and taking actions on their own without you touching anything? Here are some quick fixes to resolve this “ghost touch” issue on your iPhone.
Which iPhones Are Affected by Ghost Touch?
Ghost touch problems most commonly affect the iPhone X. In November 2018, Apple admitted that it had found some issues affecting the iPhone X’s touchscreen. It also announced that it would provide free repairs to affected customers.
However, reports and complaints online have shown that the iPhone ghost touch issue also happens on newer models. Affected iPhones not only include the iPhone 11, 12, and 13 models but also older models like the iPhone 8, 7, 6, and 5. In other words, ghost touch is something that can, on rare occasions, affect any iPhone.
Whatever model you’ve got, here’s how to fix ghost touch on your iPhone.
