Hey there Jaden_5176,


We understand the backspace button your iPhone does not always work. It requires multiple taps. We'll be happy to help.


To begin, we'd recommend restarting and making sure your device is up-to-date. Reference the two links below.

Restart your iPhone

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If it still happens afterwards, it might be related to the screen itself. Use this article: If the screen isn’t working on your iPhone or iPad

This article will guide you through a few things like cleaning the screen and removing any screen or case protectors.


Let us know how that goes or if you have any questions. Cheers!
