iPhone 12 Pro started typing random letters on its own.

Hello everybody, I purchesed my iphone 12 few weeks ago and few days ago I encounter a problem. While I was typing it started typing random letters on its own. I was charging my phone at the moment and since I live in Eurpe there is special charging port, and I read somewhere that this could happen because of chager. Is that thbe problem or something else, and hoe do I fix it. Thank you in advance!

I don't know what the problem is but it really sounds like a hardware issue to me if it is overheating. You should get an authorized service provider to have a look. Pretty much the only thing you could do would be to reset the device to factory settings and hope that clears up the issue, preferably using a method that completely reinstall the iOS software.

If you do need to take it to an Apple service provider this will need to be in the country where you purchased the iPhone for warranty coverage.
