Touchscreen acting strange after iOS 14 update

I have an iPhone XS Max and I’ve just updated the phone to iOS 14.

Areas of the screen becomes unresponsive many times during the day. Locking the screen and unlocking it again seems to temporarily fix the issue. Removed the screen protector, and restarting the phone doesn’t seem to fix the issue. Updated to iOS 14.1 and the issue remains to emerge every once in a while during the day making it difficult to operate, navigate and especially type on the phone.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

I found a fix that might work for others with this issue (especially if typing is the problem). Go into your keyboard settings (settings-general-keyboard) and disable the slide to type function. After disabling that function, my keyboard is no longer the bane of my existence.

This issue had been driving me insane since it makes the phone almost unusable. Hopefully it stays fixed and Apple resolved the issue WHICH IS CLEARLY A SOFTWARE PROBLEM!!!

The solution is very simple. They just need to allow us to roll back to the good and reliable IOS 13.

They probably can but don’t want to. They make money by forcing people to buy new phones.

cant believe a trillion dollar company cannot fix the problem or replace a few handsets.

I am also facing same issue. Apple store recommended to change display, did it but it didn’t fixed the issue. Apple needs to fix this on priority.

Yeah I tried the factory reset and it was okay for about a day then went back to being garbage with all the same issues. So it was pointless.

Hello friend. I'm having the same issue exactly, including the problems with the letter P. Any update on how you resolved it?

Did I understand correctly? You can downgrade from 14.4 to IOS 13?

Mar 6, 2021 2:15 AM in response to VizAlbert

Yes. But I don’t may, because I haven’t pc.

This is a real annoyance. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!
