A frozen or unresponsive iPhone touchscreen can be frustrating—especially when you’re trying to make a call, send a message, or access your apps. At Boston Mobile Phone Repairs, we see this issue often, and it’s usually easier to fix than you think.
Let’s break down the common causes and solutions.
Physical damage to the screen or digitizer
Software glitches after an iOS update
Dirt, sweat, or moisture on the screen
Faulty screen protectors or cases
App crashes or memory overload
Force Restart Your iPhone
A simple reboot clears temporary software bugs. For most models, press and release Volume Up, then Volume Down, then hold the Side button.
Clean the Screen
Use a microfiber cloth—avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.
Remove Your Case/Protector
Some accessories can interfere with touch sensitivity.
Update iOS
Bug fixes and performance patches might resolve the issue.
Try Safe Mode (or Reset All Settings)
