Is your brand new iPhone X is making you frustrated? You bought the phone recently and already facing issues? What to do when you iPhone X not working? When Apple launched their iPhone X, they claimed this phone to have a “Super Retina Display, TrueDepth Camera System, Face ID and A11 Bionic Chip with Neural Engine.”
Since then, this $999 overpriced set has created a lot of hype. But there is a problem- iPhone X has a lot of customer complaints. Some claim their flashlight is not working. Some even say the Touch of the iPhone X is not working. In this article, I collected complaints about why parts of the iPhone X are not working. And gave direction to solve the problems.
Why My iPhone X Touch Is Not Working?
The touchscreen is a crucial part of any smartphone. If the Touch is not working, you can’t use the mobile. There are many reasons, known or unknown, for a touchscreen not to work. These can be cold weather that slows down the processor. Or a simple bug problem. Now, what can you do when the Touch of your iPhone X is not working?
Reboot
Rebooting often solves most of the problems, although we don’t know why.
- Tap and press the volume up button of your phone.
- Then press the volume down button.
- Now hold the power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
This will automatically boot the phone and turn the power on. Now check the touchscreen. If this method doesn’t work, the next steps are for you:
Screen Protector
We often use a glass to protect our phone, in case it slips. Sometimes the problem can be with the glass and not the screen. Try to open the protector or go to a nearby service store to open it.
Heat It Up
Cold weather can affect your iPhone, as I said earlier. You can try to warm the phone a little bit. (No! Don’t put the phone in a fire or the oven) Do this instead:
- Turn off your phone.
- Use a blanket and make a burrito with your iPhone.
- Then turn the power on and check the Touch.
- Update the IOS
The touchscreen problem can also be a big bug issue. Update the latest IOS version to see if they solved the bug issue.

Why is The Flashlight On iPhone X Not Working?
Phone flashlight is a very handy feature. It helps me every time there is a load shedding. But the flashlight can sometimes not work properly. This can be because of any damage that happened to the phone. Phone battery, settings, or any other restriction in the setting can cause the flashlight not to work.
How Do I Fix The Flashlight On My iPhone X?
Check Settings
There is a high chance of any restriction you accidentally touched. Check flashlight settings.
Do Not Disturb Mode
There is a special feature on iPhone 6 to the latest iPhones; the do not disturb mode. This feature is helpful when you are trying to focus on a task. Your flashlight will not turn on if this mode is on.
Low Battery
Flashlight consumes a lot of battery. Your flashlight may not work because there is a low battery percentage showing. The phone is trying to save battery, so the flashlight is not turning on.
Camera Issue
There are two flashlights, one in the camera and the other in the manual one. If the camera is on, a flashlight will not work.
Other Damage
Physical or water damage do more harm than it seems. A flashlight is the outer portion of the phone. So there is a high chance of damage. Maybe you kept it on a table; there was water. Maybe you kept the phone loudly on a surface, which caused physical damage.
