Hello LeloDlamini,


It sounds as though you're experiencing issues with your iPhone screens sensitivity level. Do you have a screen protector on your iPhone? If so, you might try removing that to see if this issue improves.


If not, have you tried adjusting the sensitivity of you screen? You can read more about this here: Change 3D or Haptic Touch sensitivity on your iPhone - Apple Support


How to turn on 3D or Haptic Touch

1. Open Settings and tap Accessibility.
2. Tap Touch.
3. Tap 3D & Haptic Touch. Depending on the device you have, only the 3D Touch or the Haptic Touch option might appear. For 3D Touch, turn on the feature, then use the slider to select a sensitivity level. For Haptic Touch, choose a touch duration speed, then tap the image to test your setting.

These devices support Haptic Touch: iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone XR, and iPhone 11 and later.

These devices support 3D Touch: iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.


Best regards.
