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.

Mines be ok since I got the screen replaced.

Wierd how the screen was ok before IOS14, but since installing this update the screen started playing up with ghost touches and unresponsiveness.

That stinks dude. Hopefully there’ll be a firmware fix before iOS 37 comes out.

Replace the whole screen!? That’s bs!!!!!

If it’s a problem with the screen, why does it happen with my iPhone 12 pro, my iPad, and the previous iPhone X? We all have defective screens? And why did this start after the iOS 14 update ?

Ask Apple that. I’m only saying what fixed it for me. Had problems since upgrading to IOS14. A replacement screen fixed the issue.
