Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 9 update

Hold down the power and home button simultaneously to restart. The screen should work again. I've had the same problem.... updating to 9.0.1 now 🙂

I've had less issues with 9.0.1, fingers crossed!

I have also had the same problem with iOS 9.0.2, and the solution worked: no trouble before.

Exact same for me. Unresponsive touch screen running 9.0.2 (updated to it 2 days ago). Never had that problem before.

Thank you I have just had the same problem and really glad to read that I was not alone. Screen now responding again. Thank you.

Thank you so much i was searching for my question so long 😀

I updated my phone 4s to 9.0.2 and it stopped responding

I Have restarted my phone over 10x today and i still have not gotten my touch screen to work! This week my phone is lagging and unresponsive, I pay to have a cellular service and i can't figure out how to get my phone to work! Using my iPad for everything when I'm connected to wifi is not going to work come work tomorrow! How can I get my screen to work again! Restarting my phone is doing nothing for me!

I have the same problem. I'm ready to say goodbye to the iphone once and for all and go all in with android and a plan that's a fraction of the price.

I actually had to pull out my laptop for the first time in six months to look for answer but nothing more than what i've already been doing.

I returned my phone for a new one, this is fully an update issue.

My iPhone 5 did not have any issues related to any of the suggested fixes for the unresponsive touchscreen issues while running iOS 8, why now with iOS 9 do I need to try these suggestions to fix something that was not broken. It is not the phone that is broken, it is the upgrade to iOS 9 that broke the phone, we should be able to revert back to the previous iOS when issues like these happen. I keep checking for additional patches for iOS 9 to fix the unresponsive screen issue, but no more patches lately.

It happens 4 or 5 times a day, you cant drag stuff around on the screen (it starts to move, then snaps back), or it does not recognize screen taps when trying to type on the screen keyboard, or trying to launch an app.

My iPhone 6 plus is a paper weight. As of Dec 21st i am still unable to find a response from apple addressing this issue that works. I did however find the direction to try and power down your device by sliding the "slide power off" button. Which of course doesn't work if your screen is unresponsive. Does this have to do with 3D touch?

i have this issue on all my older devices, any way to revert to versions that work correctly?

i am going to eject from apple also, 4 devices in our houshold are useless now
