JAKARTA - Smart phones with touchscreens are currently mushrooming, various mobile phone manufacturers are making new innovations in the industry, including Apple with its iPhone products. However, there are times when touch screen phones can't respond to users' taps.

Of course, some people would be confused about overcoming the touch screen on an unresponsive iPhone, aka not responding at all to your taps or those who respond occasionally and are unpredictable.

However, there's no need to worry because there are some simple fixes that you can try to enable and restart before bringing them to the Apple Store. Check out the tips below!

Repeat your iPhone with Face ID

If you have an iPhone equipped with Face ID, such as the iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro, try this method:

1. Press and hold the right side button and one of the volume buttons until the Slide to power off control message appears. Then, drag the arrow icon.

2. Wait at least 30 seconds until your device completely shuts down.

3. Press and hold the button on the right side of the iPhone until you see the Apple logo appear.

4. Your device will boot and return to the lock screen after a few seconds.

5. Scroll up and enter your password to unlock your device.

Repeat your iPhone with the Home button

Although most Apple iPhones are now equipped with Face ID and edge-to-edge screens, entry-level iPhone SE (2022) still features classic iPhone 8 designs and previous models. The process of restarting the iPhone with the Home button is a little different:

1. Press and hold the right side button until the Slide to power off controls appear. If you are using the first generation iPhone SE (2016) or the previous iPhone 5s or model, the button will be up, not on the side.

2. Row the arrow icon from left to right.

3. Wait at least 30 seconds until your device completely shuts down.

4. Press and hold the button on the right side of the iPhone until you see the Apple logo appear.

5. Your device will boot and return to the lock screen after a few seconds.

Reset Your iPhone Factory

If recharging your iPhone doesn't solve any software-related issues that can cause your iPhone's touch screen to crash, the last option you can try is to restore your iPhone back to the factory settings.

However, this will remove everything on your iPhone, return it to its original state, unless you already have a backup, or you can create a new one.

If you use iCloud Backups, you should have created automatic backups in the last 24 hours, as long as your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi and connected to the charger port during that time. Otherwise, you should try creating a new backup to your Mac or PC first. This is quoted from Digital Trends, Monday, January 2.
