How To Fix iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr Touch Screen Problems
First off, we will like to say that the cause of the touchscreen problems might be as a result of hardware damaged (damage while shopping or you’ve dropped it a couple of times) and if that is the case, then the there is nothing we can do for you. You’ll have to take it to phone technician or return it for a replacement if the phone is still within its warranty period. However, there is also a chance that it is also a software related issue so you should try out the below solutions first.
Remove The Screen Protector (if any) and Case
Screen Protectors, as well as cases, are meant to protect out phones in the event of a drop. However, in some cases, it actually does more harm than good to our devices. The screen protector might just be what is stopping your touches from making it all the way through to the screen thereby giving off the impression that your phone has a touch screen issues.

You should also take of the case if you have any on the iPhone as the case might also be the cause, especially if the case is way too tight. Asides from the possibility of causing the touchscreen problems, it also heats up phones by not allowing the heat out, especially under heavy usage.

If that is the case then Apple will most likely figure out the cause of the problem, fix the problem and push out an update in that regard. It is now left to you to update your device in order to apply the fix for the problem. If there is an available update for your device, then you should go ahead and update as chances are, they’ve fixed the issue in that update.
Factory Reset Your iPhone Xs, Xs Max and Xr
Factory Reset fixes a lot of software Related issue and has a high chance of fixing this too. Factory Reset restores your device back to the way it was when you first used it, giving it a fresh start. It also wipes all your save settings and data so you should probably backup your important data before proceeding. Hopefully, it also wipes away the cause of the problem. To Factory Reset your iPhone Xs, Xs Max or Xr, Go to Settings >> General >> Reset >> Input your Apple ID and Password and proceed. The factory reset process should start immediately, once it is done, your phone will restart and you can now set it up, just like a new iPhone.
