Half of the screen on my phone is frozen, my phone is turned on but when i try to put my password on the half that is frozen the buttons don’t work. How can i fix this?

My phone started glitching throughout may, it progressively got worse to the point where now it is un-usable. I can’t even put in my own password and my phone gets locked because random numbers get pressed due to the glitching. Is there any way to fix this?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

If you use a screen protector then remove it and see whether that returns the screen to normal. NOTE that if you do this then you will not be able to use the same screen protector again. If this is not the issue then your display is failing. To confirm, you can have your iPhone examined at the Apple Store or at an Authorized Service Center for further diagnosis and resolution.
