Screen Randomly unresponsive and Tap to Wake not working.

My Iphone X screen randomly becomes unresponsive.

Never while I am using it.

But sometimes when I press the power button the screen turns on but I cannot unlock the phone as the screen is unresponsive.

Pressing the power button to turn the screen off and back on again sometimes fixes the issue.

But sometimes I have to do this about 10 or more times before the screen actually becomes responsive again.

The Tap to Wake feature has also stopped working completely.

The issue only started a week or so after updating to IOS14.

I am not sure if the issue is related to the update or not.

iPhone X, iOS 14
