iPhone’s Touch Screen Isn’t Responding

This is one of the scariest things that can happen to you. If you’re trying to tap something on your screen and your iPhone doesn’t seem to work, there’s still something you can do to fix it.

First, make sure that your screen is completely unresponsive. There’s still a possibility that the app you’re using isn’t responding correctly. So, try locking and unlocking your iPhone or going back to the Home Screen and see if that solves the problem.

If the screen is still unresponsive, the best thing you can do is force-restart your iPhone. We already explained how to do this earlier, but to recap: if you have a modern iPhone, you need to press and release the volume up button quickly, then the volume down button, and finally press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

After it restarts, tap the screen, and the issue should be fixed. Of course, ensure the screen and your hands are clean enough. The iPhone’s screen shouldn’t have any water or dust on it. Also, make sure that you don’t have a really thick screen protector that’s making it hard for your iPhone to react to your touches.
