I really enjoy having mine, and I hardly ever travel without them. However, it is not immune to issues like other technology. The most notable issue that many Apple Watch wearers are currently reporting is the persistent occurrence of &#8220;ghost touches,&#8221; in which the screen responds even when it isn&#8217;t being touched. Users of both the most recent and older generations of Apple Watches are experiencing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not particularly new is the ghost touch problem: At least the last few years have seen reports regarding it, and Apple has still not made the cause publicly known. Using your watch with the &#8220;erase if wrong code is inputted&#8221; security feature enabled can make the issue more serious, even though it will usually only be a little irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With my Apple Watch Ultra 2, I recently had this problem as well. Suddenly, my watch&#8217;s display went crazy, flickering between various options and apps. I tried to turn it off, but you have to swipe &#8220;Power off&#8221; from the touch screen, and the ghost touches made it impossible for me to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More : <a href=\"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/apple-vision-pro-review\/\">Exploring the Apple Vision Pro: Unveiling All Details as it Hits the Shelves in February.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Method\"><\/span>First Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solutions_for_%E2%80%9CApple_Watchs_ghost_touch_problem%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Solutions for &#8220;Apple Watch&#8217;s ghost touch problem.&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how would you respond in such a circumstance? Thankfully, you can hard reset your Apple Watch without touching the screen. To switch off the watch and view the Apple logo on the screen, simply press and hold the Digital Crown and the side button beneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Turn it off and on&#8221; is Apple&#8217;s &#8220;official&#8221; remedy to the problem, so if that sounds like a flimsy workaround, consider this. Its infrequent functionality is the sole issue; some users note that the issue reappears even after a hard reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, your only option if a hard reset doesn&#8217;t work is to keep trying till anything works. Since the issue originally surfaced on the Apple Watch Series 7, nearly two years have gone, and there is currently no other solution. It is unlikely that Apple will provide one anytime soon. And whom else will you give a call to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Second_Method\"><\/span>Second Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Resolve_Every_Apple_Watch_Ghost_Touch_Issue\"><\/span>How to Resolve Every Apple Watch Ghost Touch Issue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_watchOS_104\"><\/span>Install watchOS 10.4<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Apple Watch&#8217;s ghost touch problem is probably the result of a bug in the software Therefore, the best approach is to update the watchOS to the most recent version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>On the Apple Watch, update watchOS directly:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press the&nbsp;<strong>Digital Crown&nbsp;<\/strong>to go to the&nbsp;<strong>Home Screen<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the <strong>Settings app<\/strong>, then select <strong>General<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the <strong>Software Update<\/strong> menu item.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Install button<\/strong> to upgrade watchOS from this page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Third_Method\"><\/span>Third Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_your_iPhone_launch_the_Watch_app\"><\/span>On your iPhone, launch the Watch app.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Select the <strong>General option<\/strong> by going to the <strong>My Watch tab<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Here, choose the <strong>Software menu<\/strong> item.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press the <strong>Download Update button<\/strong> on the ensuing screen, then input the passcode for your <strong>iPhone or Apple Watch<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The update has started and will take some time to finish if your Apple Watch displays a progress wheel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Forth_Method\"><\/span>Forth Method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Execute_a_Hard_Restart\"><\/span>Execute a Hard Restart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Needed time: one minute<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The screen will turn black after at least ten seconds of pressing and holding the Side button and the Digital Crown.
