Since upgrading to 15.5., my phone has developed ghost touch

Since upgrading to 15.5., my phone has developed ghost touch. ***. Sometimes I cannot use Message at all.. random letters, screen swipes, sending trash messages to random people at supersonic speed - phone heats up quickly. Have never had this problem before now. Any real fix for this?

There’s no "real fix" magic answer for this strange issue, so you’ll need to try the following:


Click ▶︎ Software Update.



If that didn’t help, then try the following:

Turn iPhone on or off.

Force Restart iPhone.


If that didn’t work, get expert service and support at the Genius Bar.


Click ▶︎ Start a Service Request. ⚛️
