iphone x opens and switches around between closed apps

Since upgrade to 15.1 iphone x is doing odd things.


It opens closed apps.

It switches between apps.

It scrolls up in earlier sent messages in Meaasegs.

It closes down any contact to screen.

It blocks attempt on swiping up from button.


What is going on?


Do I really need to throw away a fine phone - or wont a new iphone do the same?


Im frustrated!

Sounds like they are all screen digitizer related.

First try a Forced restart

If no better

Backup and restore (using the computer method preferably)
