5 Useful Solutions to iPhone Xs Screen Unresponsive Issue

Our iPhone touch screen does not work as normal and we don’t know why. This happens on the time we press the home button to turn on the phone or press the power button to restart the phone. Sometimes the screen unresponsiveness happens while we are using the phone. Here we share with you 5 useful ways that Apple support recommended to troubleshoot these issues. Follow up these tips below and your iPhone Xs will work normally in 95%.

 

1. Try to remove any iPhone case or screen protector and test it again

Maybe this sounds unreasonable, but some phone cases or screen protectors do affect the function of the touch screen. Some mobile phone cases or screen protectors purchased in the free market may have deviation to the accuracy size. The iPhone screen unresponsiveness may be caused by a new phone case or screen protector pressure. So if your iPhone Xs screen failed on responsiveness, try to remove the case or screen protector and check to see if the problem is fixed.  Besides, we recommend our users choose their iPhone models compatible protective case and screen protector in the Apple official store.

2. Hard reboot your iPhone

This solution works on most time your digital devices are not working. If your iPhone Xs screen failed on response, you may also try this way. Quickly press the volume up and down button one by one, and then hold and press the side button until you see the Apple logo on the screen. Release all buttons and wait until seconds for your iPhone is rebooting. Repeat the steps and try again if the Apple logo did not show on the screen. This solution works on iPhone X and the later iPhone X series models. Before you try to reboot your iPhone, you need to make sure the battery energy is loaded. If your iPhone is placed in the drawer for a long time and running out of battery power, you may consider the follow-up solution. The same process you may refer to our previous blog of 4 Ways to Restart Your iPhone Device

3. Charge the phone to power the battery

This also causes the iPhone screen unresponsive problems. When your iPhone battery is lower to 5%, it will switch to low power mode automatically. The phone will be power off and the screen will not respond at the same time. You should keep your iPhone on charge at least 30 minutes and also check if it is normal on charging on the screen. If your iPhone is left in the drawer and not working for a long time, the battery power is totally running out. You may also fail to restart the phone because it is in low power mode. You need to charge the phone to power your iPhone Xs battery so that you could restart the phone.
