You can try a clean install of your device after a factory reset:


First make sure you have a backup

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Then facory reset your device:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support


And set it up without a backup. See if the issue persists.


If it still does not work it is a hardware issue and will need service:

Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


If that solved it there was a software issue. Try restoring the backup and see if it still works.

if that made the problem come back the backup is the problem


Good luck!
