One of the most important tools of the iPhone is the touch screen, which allows you to perform all functions simply using your fingertips. Often, the touch screen does not respond or is slow to execute commands, fortunately this does not mean that there is a problem with your device. Something much more common might be happening, like a low-quality screen protector causing interference or a crack that can easily be repaired.

If the touch screen “freezes” or does not respond quickly when you press an option, you can check for any damage by removing the protective case and the film or glass cover and any other accessory that may come into contact with the screen. Then clean the screen carefully with a special cloth to ensure that you’ve removed dust and dirt. Finally, make sure that there are no external factors like extreme heat causing your device to overheat.

What remains now is to restart your iPhone. During the restart, any possible temporary software errors will be resolved. To do a complete update of the software, follow the steps below.

From the “Settings” option, go to “Software update”. Select the command “Check for updates” or “Download and install”. If there’s an updated version of the software, follow the instructions for its installation.

Another process you can carry out is the activation of touch sensitivity. Follow the path Settings > Display > Touch sensitivity.

You should also know that the area above the navigation bar doesn’t respond, so it’s normal for the touch screen not to execute some command at that particular point. The same applies to the edge of the screen, as it is designed not to work while you’re holding it.
