iPhone Touch Screen Not Working, How To Fix Touch Screen Not Working On iPhone? 

iPhone

Apple Inc. created and sold the iPhone range of cell phones. These gadgets use Apple's iOS mobile operating system. On January 9, 2007, the first-generation iPhone was unveiled by Steve Jobs, then Apple's CEO. Since then, Apple has updated iOS and new iPhone models yearly. The iPhone will hold 15.6% of the worldwide smartphone market in 2022.

Why Is iPhone Touch Screen Not Working? 

Old version of iPhone software 

Follow these instructions to check for and install app updates on your iPhone:

• To get started, launch the App Store.

• Select Updates by tapping on the bottom of the screen. By doing this, a new screen with a list of applications in need of updates will appear.

• To update specific applications, tap the Update button next to their names. If there are numerous app updates available, choose Update All.

• Reboot or perform a soft reset on your iPhone after installing all significant app updates to make the most recent software adjustments.

Suspicious files and messages

• If your iPhone screen suddenly becomes unresponsive or freezes after downloading a file, such as images, movies, or email attachments, that file must be the perpetrator. 

• Find that file, delete it, and check to see if the issue is resolved. 

• If you clicked on an embedded link in an SMS or MMS message when the symptom first appeared, the link likely contained a bug that disrupted or damaged the phone's usual functions.

Outdated and pointless programs

In addition to removing incorrect links and insufficient data, you should eliminate outdated software. Besides freeing up memory, removing ineffective apps also resolves any adverse side effects they may have produced.

• Go to the main home screen on your iPhone, tap and hold the app icon there for a few seconds, or until the icons start to wiggle, to delete/uninstall the app. Then click the X in the upper-left corner of the program you wish to uninstall. Tap Delete when requested to complete the action.

• You can also go to the Settings-> General-> iPhone Storage option to access your phone's storage.

• Once you've accessed this menu, look for and choose the app you want to remove. Then, to complete the application removal from your iPhone, adhere to the remaining on-screen instructions.

Incorrect Phone settings

Another potential cause of your iPhone touchscreen malfunctioning or becoming unresponsive is system settings that were altered manually or as a result of an upgrade. Reset your iPhone's settings to remove any customized or erroneous configurations to rule this out. Your phone's settings are reset to their initial values following the Reset.

• Navigate to Settings-> General-> Reset menu on your iPhone, then choose the option to Reset all settings. After that, you will be asked to enter your iPhone's passcode. Input the correct passcode to proceed. To confirm, tap Reset settings after that.

When the Reset is complete, your iPhone should restart automatically and load the default settings. As a result, to access specific functions that are deactivated by default on your phone, you must re-enable them. Use your device as usual after turning on the required features to check whether the issue reappears.

Cache and Cookies

• From the Home screen, select Settings.

• Choose General.

• After you scroll down, tap Reset.

• The option to Erase all material and settings should be chosen.

• Enter your device passcode if prompted.

• Then select the option to confirm your desire to delete all data from your iPhone.

How To Fix Touch Screen Not Working On iPhone? 

Restart your device

• You should restart your device if your iPhone's touchscreen isn't functioning correctly. To restart your phone, you must hit a combination of the power and volume buttons when it has an unresponsive screen.

• Restarting an iPhone might fix memory issues that cause an unresponsive screen to return.

Clean the screen properly

• The performance of your screen can be impacted by dirt, wetness, or humidity. The capacitive touchscreen of the iPhone detects your fingertips by electrical conductance.

• Use your iPhone once more after thoroughly cleaning and drying the screen.

Remove all extras from the Lightning port

• Sometimes, an object plugged into your phone's Lightning port, such as a charger or power bank, may prevent your touchscreen from working as intended.

• Disconnect any such device. If the problem is fixed, that specific cable or accessory might not work with the iPhone.

Remove the screen protector and phone case

• Suppose you install a screen protector that is too thick. In that case, the touchscreen on an iPhone may cease functioning properly since it won't be able to detect the electrical capacitance in your fingertips.

• Try taking off anything on or near the phone's screen, including the case. Get a new case and a thinner screen protector if the screen starts operating correctly.

Factory Reset

If nothing else has worked so far and your iPhone has recently stopped reacting to your touches, you might want to "Factory Reset" your device. This will restore the phone to its settings when you initially purchased it.

Maintain a suitable data backup because all your installed apps, software updates, and personal information will be erased.

It would help if you began the factory reset on a computer since you cannot use the touchscreen on the iPhone. Here's how to go about it:

Step 1: Get your iPhone and computer connected.

Step 2: Open iTunes (using a Mac running on 10.15 or higher). In other situations, launch Finder.
