Ghost Touch’, as the same itself signifies, occurs when your iPhone starts to perform actions on its own, without any external touch. Such little actions when the screen reacts to non-existent touches it not only looks creepy, but these strange actions become also annoying.
Here are ways in which you can repair your iPhone at home without looking for iPhone repair in England



Clean the touchscreen:


A dirty screen may hamper the way the screen of the iPhone perceives your touch, so start off by cleaning it.

Turn off the phone and unplug all connected cables
Slightly dampen a clean and soft lint-free cloth with warm water
Wipe the screen firmly from one end to the other, avoiding openings.


Remove the Screen Protector:
Air pockets under screen protectors can cause dirt and debris to collect and cause ghost touch.

Start at one corner by using a pointed small tip object to lift the screen guard off the screen without scratching the device
Gradually peel of the cover.
If the protector seems to be damaged, and cracked, get it removed at a qualified repair shop.


Restart the iPhone:


Hold the Side button and any one of the Volume buttons until the Slide to power off appears.
Slide the Power off to the right
After shutdown. Hold the Side button and wait until the Apple logo appears
