Phone is possessed

My phone starts typing by itself and even starts to draw when using the sketch app. Is there anyway to stop it?

If you have a screen protector or a phone case with magnetic closure installed, remove them.

You can also reboot into safe mode and check if it happens there.

Nope, that's not a screen protector issue. That happen to me mostly outdoor after the phone have been more than 10 minutes on the sun with the display on. Screen will become first warm, then hot and then it will start the dance. Auto scroll, auto typing and autodrawing.

Its for sure a design issue of the ips panel and the digitizer, it bothers but I usually try to not to be too much on the sun while reading.

Yea, I removed both the screen protector and the phone case but it still happens.

What issues can appear if i have a screen protector?

@Niveko

what it's described above, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't apply one, make sure that its not covering the proximity sensor and if you experience issues, remove it and try a different brand.
