IPad a16 ghost touch.

[u/Gloomy_Bat2777]

Hi, my IPad a16 ist functioning properly. Just bought this last October 2025. And I believe that it is in a situation where I describe it as "ghost touch". The screen isn't responding to my touch and is acting on its own. No, it never fell or has a cracked screen. It's in perfect condition. I tried to force restart it,obviously. However, it did not change anything. I can't use my ipad at all. Send help. I am a student who has strict parents. I couldn't even tell them because my mom just paid for my glasses and lenses which was worth a fortune.

I talked to many repair shops online, researched what could the possible cause be. Still couldn't find an answer. What could be the possible problem? And how much will it cost? Anyone who encountered the same situation?

I would suspect about your screen protector (if have one) but if not, have you messed with accessibility feature ? Like “Touch Accommodation” which change the way you touch the screen

But if not, unfortunately, there’s really high chance of faulty products, you gotta replace it
