Quickly wake up your iPhone with a light tap on the screen. This option is only available on a limited number of devices. Specifically, Tap can only be used to boot iPhone X and newer models. This feature may stop working and the iPhone may become unresponsive to touch. It is easier to use cleaning videos with tab. Let's see how to solve this problem.
Why doesn't my iPhone turn on when I touch it?
Don't forget to update your iOS version. If this issue was caused by a software bug, Apple may have already fixed it. Open Settings and select General Software Update. Install the latest iOS version, restart your iPhone and check the result.
Remove the screen protector. A thick screen protector can affect the touchscreen characteristics.
Disable power saving mode. When the battery saver is on, your iPhone will automatically end all unnecessary processes. Wake on Tap is one of them, which will always wake up your device with a tap signal.
Use a wired charger instead of wireless charging. Many users complain that Tap to Wake doesn't work when their iPhone is connected to a wireless charger. Chargers can interfere with the Tap-to-Wake feature. Use the Lightning charger instead.
Please check your settings.
Make sure touch alerts are on. You may have accidentally disabled this option while adjusting other settings. Launch the
Settings app and go to the General section.
Then select ease of use.
Scroll down and tap to wake.
Enable this option. If the device is already activated, toggle the switch off and restart the iPhone. Go back to settings and turn the tap alarms back on to see the results.
Reset Settings
Resetting all iPhone settings to their default values can fix this problem. Perhaps certain devices are preventing input to wake it up. Open Settings, select General and click Reset all settings.
Don't worry, this process won't delete anything from your device. This will restore only the current iPhone settings.
The screen may be defective.
Go to your nearest Apple Store and have your iPhone checked. The screen may be faulty and should be replaced. Many users confirm that this solution worked when all other troubleshooting methods failed.
However, if this issue occurred after you replaced your iPhone's screen, the screen may not be original. Therefore, always contact an Apple Authorized Service Center for screen replacement.
Summary
The tap does not wake up issue is a common issue with iPhone X, but the issue affects newer models as well. To fix this, turn Tap to Wake off and back on, reset all settings, install the latest updates, and check your screen. How often does your iPhone suffer from Touch-to-Wake issues?
