Hey kavindu115,


If you're experiencing an issue with the iPhone not responding to touch, follow the steps here below:


  1. "Restart your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Make sure that your screen is clean and free of any debris or water.
  3. Disconnect any Lightning or USB-C accessories. If your screen works after removing an accessory, try using a different outlet, cable, or charger.
  4. Remove any cases or screen protectors."


Here's the article that provides those steps, and also, what to do if issue persists: If the screen isn't working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If there aren't duplicate photos or videos, the Duplicates album will not appear. For more information, click here: Find and delete duplicate photos and videos on iPhone.


Take care.
