iPhone Touchscreen Not Responding? Here’s How to Fix It
If your iPhone touchscreen is unresponsive, laggy, or not detecting touches properly, the issue may be due to software glitches, dirt on the screen, faulty apps, or hardware issues. Follow these steps to fix it.
1. Clean the Screen
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, dust, and oil from the screen. Avoid liquids directly on the screen.
2. Remove Screen Protector or Case
Some screen protectors or cases interfere with touch sensitivity. Try removing them temporarily.
3. Restart Your iPhone
Press and hold the side button and volume button → Slide to power off → Turn it on again.
4. Force Restart (If Completely Unresponsive)
- iPhone 8 or later: Press and release volume up → Press and release volume down → Hold side button until Apple logo appears
5. Update iOS
Settings → General → Software Update → Download & Install. Updates fix touchscreen bugs.
6. Check for Problematic Apps
If touchscreen stops working only in certain apps, uninstall or update those apps.
7. Reset All Settings
Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset All Settings. This does not erase data but resets preferences.
8. Disable 3D Touch / Haptic Touch
Settings → Accessibility → Touch → 3D & Haptic Touch → Turn Off (optional test).
9. Free Up Storage
Low storage can cause lagging and unresponsive touch. Delete unused apps or files.
10. Restore iPhone via iTunes (Last Software Option)
Backup your data → Restore iPhone to factory settings → Set up as new device.
11. Contact Apple Support
If touchscreen is still unresponsive, it may be a hardware issue. Visit an authorized service center.
