How to Fix iPhone 13 Flickering/Glitching Issue

Fix 1. Force Restart Your iPhone 13

The easiest way to fix any system error on an iDevice is to force restart it. For readers who don’t know, force restarting a device shuts down all the background processes and reboots the device normally. This way if a third-party application or a background process is causing iPhone 13 screen flickering, you won’t see it anymore. Follow these step-by-step instructions to force restart your iPhone 13.

• Step 1: Press the “Volume Up” key and release it immediately.
• Step 2: Then, press the “Volume Down” key and release it instantly as well.

• Step 3: Finally, press and hold the “Power” button and release it once you see the Apple logo flashing on your screen.

  

Once the device restarts, use it for a while and see if the screen flickers again or not.

Fix 2. Adjust iPhone Display Brightness

It’s quite possible that your iPhone’s light sensor might cause the screen flickering problem. To solve this, we recommend adjusting the display brightness to a different level. In general, the light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness according to the surroundings. However, if it’s not working properly, it may fluctuate the brightness signals abruptly and cause the screen to flicker.

To avoid this scenario, you can manually adjust the screen brightness and set it to a lower level. Swipe down on your screen to bring down the ‘Control Center’. There use the brightness slider to manually adjust the brightness level of the screen.

Fix 3. Free Up iPhone Storage Space

Another reason behind iPhone 13 screen glitching is the low storage space on the device. Of course, you have bought the 1 TB variant of iPhone 13, you can easily rule out this possibility, but if you are using other models, there’s a huge probability that the storage space might be pretty low. If that’s the case, you’ll have to delete a few apps or unnecessary files to free up storage and optimize your iPhone’s performance. Follow these steps to check the storage space on an iPhone 13.

• Step 1: Go to “Settings” and click “General”.

• Step 2: Scroll down and click on “iPhone Storage”.

  

The device will display a detailed analysis of the storage space on your device. If you have less than 5GB of storage space, make sure to clean your device by removing unnecessary data.

Fix 4. Reset All Your iPhone Settings

If the previous three solutions don’t fix the screen flickering problem, the next step would be to reset the iPhone settings to default. In many cases, misconfigured settings can also trigger such unexpected errors. So, instead of performing other unnecessary solutions, simply reset the iPhone settings by following this step-by-step process.

• Step 1: Open the “Settings” app and again click “General”.
• Step 2: Now, click on “Reset”.

• Step 3: On the next screen, click “Reset All Settings” and enter the screen passcode to proceed further. You might have to confirm your actions once again.

  

That’s it. Once the device restarts, check if the screen flickering issue is resolved or not.

Fix 5. Reset Your iPhone to Factory Settings

Factory resetting the iPhone 13 is another solution to fix the iPhone 13 glitching screen problem. However, this solution should be your last resort (if none of the previous methods work). Why? Because factory resetting the device will remove all your data from the device and it’ll be a hassle to retrieve it back. And, in case you have no other option but to factory reset the device, make sure to back up all your data so that you can easily retrieve your precious data.

Here’s how you can factory reset your iPhone 13:

• Step 1: Again, go to the “Settings” app and click on “General”.
• Step 2: Click on “Reset” and tap the “Erase All Content and Settings” option on the next screen.

• Step 3: Enter the screen passcode and again tap “Erase All Content and Settings” to confirm your actions.

  

Now, wait for a few seconds, and the device will rollback to the original factory settings. Once the process completes, set up your device by following the on-screen instructions and see if the screen glitching is gone or not.
