How's it going on everyone, Yannis here from appgeeker.com. Today I'm going to talk about
what to do if your iPhone screen is glitching. This is a common issue with the iPhone display,
and some people have reported this glitching iPhone screen. iPhone 11 screen is completely
glitching and unresponsive; the iPhone 8's screen is glitching from the bottom of the
phone, then all the way to the top; the iPhone 7 has been glitching and stopped working;
and the iPhone 5s screen is cracked and the screen is glitchy. No matter what your iPhone
or iOS is, here are some troubleshooting steps to fix an iPhone screen glitch issue.
If your iPhone flickers, freezes, flashes, or blacks o ut, then the first thing you can
do is hard reset. The screen becomes glitching might be due to software crash. The way you
do a hard reset depends on which iPhone you have. On iPhone 8, X, XS, XR, 11, 12 or newer
model, press and release Volume Up button, press and release Volume Down button, then
press and hold side button until Apple logo appears. On iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, press and
hold Volume Down button and Side button at the same time until you see the Apple logo.
On iPhone 6s or an earlier model than that, press and hold down Home button and Power
button, and when Apple logo shows up on the display, release the buttons.
If a hard reset didn't resolve the issue and your iPhone screen is completely unresponsive
and keeps glitching, try to use iOS System Recovery. You can get the smart tool from
appgeeker.com. The program is capable of detecting iOS issues and fixing your iPhone efficiently.
It can deal with screen being glitching or frozen, being stuck on Apple logo, spinning
wheel and many other symptoms. So launch it and connect your iPhone to the
computer. Then click More tools, click iOS System Recovery, click Start. Here, choose
Standard More - it's good enough for minor software problem. Click Confirm. Now select
an iOS firmware for your iPhone and download it instantly. Wait for the download to finish,
and once done, click Fix to remedy the issue. It's all that simple.
Look, my iPhone is not glitching any more. Congrats!
Next, turn back to some basic solutions to fix iPhone screen that glitches out. Turning
off Auto-brightness feature may help. It's helpful if the screen flickers dark and then
bright. Go to Settings app, tap Accessibility, tap Display & Text Size, then toggle off the
switch next to Auto-Brightness. Go back to Home screen and see if your iPhone screen
stops glitching or flickering. Whenever you have a glitching iPhone display,
Apple Support gives you guys advice to take off the phone case and screen protector. Plus,
make sure the screen is free of debris or water, and clean it with microfiber cloth.
So let's move to the next case. Are you facing iPhone screen glitch on a specific application,
like the FaceTime app? If that's true, then the issue is mostly likely with that app,
not the iPhone itself. This could be the minor software problem and the troubleshooting solution
starts from closing the app from the app switcher. If you have an iPhone X or later, swipe up
from the bottom of the screen to the center, then swipe up on the glitching app to close
it. With iPhone 8 or earlier, double-click the Home button to open the app switcher,
then swipe up the app's preview until it disappears. After that, open the app again to see if the
problem persists. See, my iPhone screen stops glitching and works as normal.
If your iPhone screen is still glitching after closing the app, try to delete it. T o delete
the app, touch and hold the app, tap Remove app, then in the pop-up notification, tap
Delete App, and then tap Delete to confirm. Alright, you need to reinstall the app and
see if the iPhone screen is glitching. Go to App Store and find the app. Tap Download
icon to the right off the app to reinstall it. If the app continues to glitch, you can
also look to see if there's any update for it in App Store.
As a last step, you can try to DFU restore your iPhone with a glitching screen. DFU stands
for Device Firmware Upgrade and is an advanced restoring process to get a glitching iPhone
back into working order. We have a tutorial in the card above and in the description below,
walking your through the process. Now, check the hardware issue. Have you dropped
your iPhone on the floor and then the screen started glitching out? Or have you dropped
iPhone into water? If yes, the LCD screen cable connector which connects to the logic
board may loose, and thus your screen becomes glitching or flickering. Try to turn back
your iPhone, apply some pressure on it. With any luck, the screen works normally again.
If your iPhone got wet, the display part which shows the images on the screen might be damaged.
You have no way but to visit your local Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
The expert will run a diagnostic test to see if the hardware is at fault and replace the
display if necessary. Be sure to make an appointment at the Genius Bar regarding screen repair
for your iPhone. Don't try to disassemble the screen yourself,
as the process is pretty complicated, which involves removing the screws on your iPhone,
taking off the screen, reconnecting the LCD screen cable connector and removing the battery,
and then reconnecting anything back in place. Hopefully, the experts could repair the glitching
display of your iPhone. Okay, that's all of possible tips when your
