Although Apple is almost synonymous with quality, it's no stranger to bugs and issues with its devices. One of the bugs that's been plaguing Apple Watch users is the so-called"ghost touch" issue. Now,that the company is seemingly recognizing the problem and it seems the issue is affecting more watches. Also, the company is recommending what to do.. However, it now seems models like the Series 7, 8, and the first Apple Watch Ultra might also be affected.
Apple has advised us not to replace watches for this issue and to tell people to basically force restart the watch by holding both buttons together for 10 seconds and also keep your watches up-to-dateBasically, what the ghost touch issues cause is the Apple Watch gets activated or navigates through menus without you actually wanting it to. These weird screen responses may interfere with the timepiece's functionality, but could in theory cause unintended commands or data entries.
For now, in order to fix the ghost touch issue, Apple is recommending a force restart of your watch - by holding the Digital Crown and side button until the Apple logo appears. Also, you are advised to keep your Apple Watch up to date. But this is a temporary fix that may or may not completely fix it.
