My iPhone 6 has been operating on its own!

My iPhone 6 is operating on its own, something temporarily takes control of the phone & opens or closes apps, opens safari & starts typing its own searches, takes control of social media & posts messages on its own. Tries to delete apps off the phone.

I've reset the phone to factory specs but this hasn't fixed the problem. I've done a back up restore from an older timeframe but this hasn't helped either.


Has anyone else experienced issues like this?

Does anyone know of a solution to fix this?

iPhone 6, iOS 11.3.1

Does all the "typing" seem random? If so the most likely reason is a failing digitizer. That's part of the screen assembly and replacing that might fix it. Other than that there's the possibility of "touch disease" where the touch controller IC connection to the logic board is flaky. That problem was most common on the 6 Plus, but some iPhone 6 users were getting that.
