Touchscreen takes inputs that was never made

The touchscreen takes inputs that was never made.when i use swift keyboard to backspace to delete it keep entering x or c instead What is the most cause? Before this, pressing an icon ends up pressing the icon next to it

Is your phone screen dirty? That could be the problem.. However, it can also be a software problem. If cleaning the phone doesn't work, then try clearing system cache, if that doesn't work either, then try a factory reset (do a backup first). And if it still doesn't work, then it's a hardware problem which cannot be fixed easily...

Possibly a fluky screen-protector?

Would you elaborate on what Android device you are using, so members would identify if it's a software issue or the users mishandling or damage to the device?

I found wipe cache as an sub option under wipe & reset, after wipe sys cache + a good screen cleaning get a bit better but still miss the target key eg i press f, it enter g. I have also did a screen calibration but still the same

It is getting so bad even swiping a key to answer a call is huge huzzle, what should i do,cleaning sys cache did not work at all. I am thinking of throwing it far far out, out of sight out of mind.It happening all over the place not just one section of the screen DESPERATION ESCALATING
