iPhone 6 screen freezes after iOS 10.3.1 update

It's the first time it happens to me, after updating to the latest IOS the phone started working wrong, the screen freezes, it turns off alone and it opens apps and chats without touching the screen. I think it's a problem of the update as many iphone 6 an iphone 6 plus are having the same issue. I tried almost everything but it didn't worked.

I'll be very grateful if you can solve it.

iPhone 6, iOS 10.3.1

Hi there!

Had the same problem, getting worse from day to day, but it looks like an issue with TouchID and/or Passcode!

I use TouchID to unlock the iPhone and the Passcode (4 Digits).

Yesterday i disabled both: Settings ==> TouchID & Passcode ==> entering 4 Digits ==> iPhone Unlock slider to off ==> Turn Passcode Off

Now almost every tap on the screen resulted in screen freeze (a real nightmare!), but i was able to go to Settings ==> TouchID & Passcode again and turned the Passcode on. Now i had to enter 6 Digits(!!) for a new passcode.

I deleted the finger prints, made new ones, and turned TouchID to on again.

Since then not a single freeze!

Same problem with iPhone 6 since IOS 10...(?) update and now even with IOS 11 Beta. Sometimes it happens, that it seems like a ghost is tapping on the display and apps open and close, letters are written without any touch. And the other time the screen freezes. I consider to change and go back to an Android Phone again if Apple does´t fix it now. IOS 11 is even worse... wlan and bluetooth are not shut off, when hit in in control center. Now you have to go to settings and scroll to the items to close wlan or bluetooth. What a ****.
