Fixing Apple Watch False Touch & Ghost Touch Issues
Some Apple Watch users have experienced a situation where their Apple Watch seems to respond to phantom touches, which some users have come to call ghost touches. These false touches can happen in a variety of different situations, from the Apple Watch simply being on your wrist and doing nothing out of the ordinary, to situations where you are wearing gloves or long sleeves, to when in a shower or washing dishes – where presumably some water contact on the screen registers as a false touch – and are even sometimes accompanied by the Apple Watch display being unresponsive to intentional touch as well.
If you’re experiencing ghost touches or false touches on Apple Watch, there are a few tricks you can try which may help to resolve or remedy the situation for you.
