excessive swiping on its own

iPhone 11 has started excessively swiping (especially between windows) and tapping randomly, mostly in short bursts, even as I type this. What could be the issue?

iPhone 11, iOS 17

The issue is a bad screen digitizer, meaning that the iPhone 11 needs a screen replacement.


Make an appointment at the Apple Store or take the phone to an authorized Apple service shop for repairs. If you have not yet replaced the battery, that might be due as well.


Depending on the repair estimate, the money might better be spent on a new phone. Your call on that.
