Struggling with your iPhone touchscreen? Whether you are or aren\u2019t, we have some tips that will help when you have this problem.<\/p>\n
Simple issues
\nIf you\u2019re watching this video, you\u2019ve probably already checked, but just in case\u2014is this problem limited to a specific app? If so, the fault is probably with the app and not the phone. Try rebooting your phone so you can check.<\/p>\n
Some wired peripherals don\u2019t play well with general iPhone functionality. Disconnect any accessories attached to the phone and see if that\u2019s the cause.<\/p>\n
Is your iPhone overheating? If it\u2019s hot to the touch, the system might not be working as intended. You can shut it down and leave it for up to half an hour to see if cooling down helps.
\nTouchscreens accumulate a lot of dirt. Dirty phone screens affect the phone\u2019s ability to track changes in charge, and therefore can\u2019t respond to your touch. Only cleaning your phone screen can fix this issue. Turn your phone off via force restart, then using a clean, damp microfiber cloth, thoroughly wipe the screen. Turn it back on and see if it now responds to your touch.<\/p>\n
Operating system issues
\nIf you\u2019re still struggling, the problem may still be software-related. Even Apple\u2019s proprietary OS is not immune to software glitches that can temporarily disable touchscreen functionality. 99% of the time, a restart will fix the issue. However, no touchscreen means a force restart is needed. Simply press and release the volume up and volume down buttons, then press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.<\/p>\n
No luck? Time to do some updates. Hard to do with no touchscreen function, but not impossible. Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable. On Windows, go to Apple Devices or (or iTunes if that\u2019s not an option). On Mac, open the Finder. Do the force restart sequence on your iPhone, holding the side button until you see \u2018Connect to computer\u2019. Locate your iPhone on your computer and when you see the option to Update or Restore, choose Update, and wait for the download to complete.
\nIf that didn\u2019t work, it\u2019s time to look at the factory reset. This is a drastic course of action since it may mean formatting your phone, wiping all apps, software updates, and personal data. Go back to Finder, Apple Devices, or iTunes. Do the force restart sequence one more time, holding the side button until you see Connect to Computer, but this time you\u2019re going to choose Restore instead of Update. After the restore is complete, you\u2019ll have the option to set up your device as new or from an iCloud backup, if one\u2019s available.<\/p>\n
Technical issues
\nScreens are expensive to repair. Using a screen protector and phone case to keep your phone from sustaining preventable damage is prudent. However, not all protectors fit quite right. If your screen stops responding after you installed a new screen protector, try removing it to see if that makes a difference. You may need a different brand. Similarly, low-quality iPhone cases can cause displays to be unresponsive. Remove the case and see if your touchscreen works without it.
\nUnfortunately, sometimes damage is the cause. iPhones have IP68 ratings, meaning they\u2019re resistant to water and dust. Resistant is not immune, so taking one in the pool is still not a good idea. Those ratings are for devices in perfect, factory conditions. Every time you knock it, drop it, or accidentally throw it, you jeopardize that IP68 rating.
\nYou might be able to take your iPhone to Apple for repair. You can reach out online, via phone, in-person at an Apple store, or even via mail.
