๐ What Causes Ghost Touch in Free Fire on Budget Smartphones?
Ghost touch happens when your screen registers fake inputs โ taps, swipes, or drags that you didn't make. On budget phones, it's super common during intense Free Fire sessions because:
- โญ Overheating: High FPS + poor cooling = sensor glitches.
- โญ Cheap touch panels: Low refresh rates (60Hz) struggle with sweat/oil.
- โญ Software bugs: Outdated apps or heavy background processes.
- โญ Dust/dirt buildup: Tiny particles fool the capacitive screen.
Pro tip: Test it outside the game โ if your home screen ghosts too, it's hardware. But 80% of Free Fire ghost touch cases? Fixable software tweaks! Keep reading for game-changing steps. ๐ฎ
