📱 “Phone Screen Ghost Touch? Here’s Why It Happens and How to Fix It”

Have you ever seen your phone act on its own—typing, swiping, or opening apps without you touching it? That spooky behavior is called ghost touch, and it’s more common than you think. At Boston Mobile Phone Repairs, we regularly fix phones that seem “possessed” by this issue.

đź‘» What Is Ghost Touch?

Ghost touch happens when your phone’s screen detects touches that aren’t really there. It can cause random movements, auto-clicks, and unwanted app launches.

🔎 Common Causes of Ghost Touch

  • Faulty or damaged screen

  • Poor-quality or damaged screen protector

  • Moisture or dirt under the display

  • Software bugs or outdated firmware

  • Faulty charging cable or adapter

  • Overheating device

đź”§ Quick Fixes to Try

1. Clean the Screen

Use a soft microfiber cloth to remove moisture, dust, and oil buildup.

2. Remove the Screen Protector

If your screen protector is cracked or thick, try removing it—it may be interfering with touch sensitivity.

3. Update Your Software

Go to your phone’s settings and make sure your OS is up to date.

4. Unplug Faulty Chargers

Low-quality or damaged chargers can send irregular current that triggers ghost touches.

5. Restart or Reset

Restart your device. If the problem continues, consider a factory reset (after backup).
