Tingling in fingers

Hello. I’ve read a few people stating that when using their iPhone their fingers tingle. Has anyone found out why?

Please don’t reply to “go to the Dr.”

This is 100% NOT a medical issue.

It ONLY happens when touching the screen or back of the phone. Every time and NEVER when going throughout the rest of my day touching any other item or performing any other task.

I have a plastic case now. Still hurts.

would love to hear what others have found out. I have the 11pro. Thank you.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

Ok this was not to ask for medical advice clearly. It was asking if anyone else experienced this and if so what was the outcome.

FYI, after just getting off the phone with apple it IS a device issue and they are replacing my phone. They seemed to be very aware of this happening and made an appointment today for the Genius Bar to switch out. So, maybe THAT will be helpful to anyone else that logs on with the same issue.

If it was a device issue, it would happen with millions upon millions of people. I have my iPhone or iPad in my hands and yet I've never ever, ever experienced any tingling in my fingers. Rarely, if ever do we see anyone post such an issue. That is not to suggest you don't experience this, but in your first post you say not to suggest seeking medical guidance. What else could anyone offer other than seeking medical help?


Consult a doctor. We are NOT doctors and we cannot diagnose symptoms a person may experience.
