iOS 16 Touch Screen Problems

I have this same problem, but I've NOT replaced my screen. I have an SE2020 2nd Gen. with iOS 16.1.1. Some of the things happening seem to happen randomly, but my touch screen always freezes when I get a phone call.

Omg!! I thought that I was going crazy!!! Ever since I updated my iPhone 8 to the 16. IOS update I have been having problems with my keyboard when I try typing a text or email, I am pressing letters that I think are right only they are coming up wrong, and because I type fast I would just hit send thinking that my text or email was correct without looking at it. I sent a couple of texts to my son and he actually asked if I was drinking or something because my text looked as though I was drunk and couldn't text right!! I don't drink!!

I also have problems swiping, and my screen just won't respond when I try to do something in apps where it feels like the screen is frozen, I also can't scroll up or down at times!! I really thought that I was going nuts with the texting with the wrong letters coming up!! Is there anything that we can do to fix this?

I have an iPhone 8 as well, and I am having the same problem as you, and everyone else on this thread, ( I thought I was the only one,) and that I was going crazy or that I was having problems seeing or something. I haven't replaced anything on the phone except the battery and I want to throw my phone when it freezes or displays the wrong letters!

Yes sir, there is one thing only you can do with this hactic screen is that when this happens you have to scroll with 2 fingers on the screen and then lock the screen just for a while or few seconds then i hope so In Sha Allah it works and the last thing is that we are waiting for the ios 16.2 and we are requested to Apple please fix this and we are hoping that they fix this In Sha Allah in the next ios 16.2.

my previous comment was deleted by Apple..

i was saying that this particular version of iOS you’re talking about will not solve the issue.

I’ve already tried it because I’m enrolled in a “particular program for getting things a bit earlier than the public” and it was still broken in that new version you’re talking about.

If I were you I'd go back to a previous iOS before it stops working totally.

This ship has already sailed.. iOS 15.7 stopped being signed long ago, this means if you're not already on iOS 15 it's too late to go back..

Not being tech minded (it's why I have only Apple) I can't speak to the who, what, where, how and when but... A few days ago I had my phone charging and I just happened to be looking at the screen when this happened. My phone turned itself on and unlocked, all the app icons started vibrating with the "-" sign next to the them. That went on for about 10 seconds, a couple of different apps opened and closed, the phone shut off and went back to charging. Don't ask, I don't know, but now my SE2020 2nd Gen. with iOS16.1.1 is working fine. Yesterday I downloaded iOS16.1.2 and my phone works like new.

Since iPad IOS 16, my touch screen has very poor responsiveness across all apps and on the iPad general screen - often needs 4,5, or even 6 taps to work. OSmetimes requires switching to antoher part of the screen to get it going again.

Hard restart doesn’t help.

Booooooooo.

I’ve got the same touch problems after updating my iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Air 3rd Gen from iOS/iPadOS 15.7 to 16.2. Both devices have their original screen.

the accommodation settings only work for a while but it’s no really long term solution.

is there any other fix for this issue?

it’s so hard to use them now.

I have iPhone XS and now using iOS 16.2 still have the same problem. Actually, I reset my iPhone a month ago when it was 16.1 and it seemed OK for a while. Later on, it showed the same symptoms and when I realized there was this newer version of iOS (16.2) I upgraded it. Then it got worse, I again tried reseting it but It did not help. I want an urgent stable solution from Apple. I don't want to buy a new one just because Apple makes me.

cem ~ Does your iPhone XS still have its original battery?

And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

I'm still using iOS 16.1 because that version fixed my touch screen problem. Tempted update to 16.3 but too scared because I read comment above 16.2 making it worse (again). How it is possible after a fix then broke again after new update? Waiting people report for 16.3 version.

iOS16 has caused my iPhone SE (2020) to force me to tap 3 to 5 times any icon or keyboard letter. Often, I had to tap HARD. I removed the screen protector but that did NOTHING to alleviate the touch problem. I even contacted Apple, but as usual, NO ONE replies. Apple has worms.

Same problem to me and I solved it by forcing IPhone to restart as Following steps:

1- press the volume button up and quickly release

2- press the volume button down and quickly release

3- press lock main button and hold until the apple logo appears and release

that’s all
