Hi there Georgia8177,


Thanks for the post in Apple Support Communities. It's definitely important to make sure your iPhone responds as expected. We see your screen does not respond, but the Home button does. We'd like to help!


Check out the steps below If the screen isn’t working on your iPhone or iPad:


"If your screen is too sensitive or responds intermittently to touch

  1. Restart your device.
  2. Make sure your screen is clean and free of any debris or water.
  3. Disconnect any Lightning or USB-C accessories. If your screen works after removing an accessory, try using a different outlet, cable, or charger.
  4. Remove any cases or screen protectors.

If part of your screen doesn't respond, responds intermittently, or responds even when it's not touched, contact Apple Support for your iPhone or iPad."


We hope this helps you clear up the issue! Let us know if you have questions.


Take care.
