iPhone automatically presses enter while typing, starting new line

This is a very annoying problem. When I seek to type a sentence on my iphone, the phone will often automatically press "enter" forcing me to begin a new line of text, even in the middle of words.


Below, I have shown how this message appeared when I tried to type it on my phone without correcting for this problem.

You may have a bad digitizer.

First, try a forced restart. If that doesn't work take it in to the Apple store to have it looked at.

• Press and quickly release the volume up button

• Press and quickly release the volume down button

• Press and hold the side button.

• When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have it diagnosed.
