I'm having a problem "ghost touching" on my new S24. My thumb will be hovering/moving over the phone - NOT touching - and an action will occur, like closing an app. How do I stop this?? eg turn it off?!

Any help or suggestions will be very
 appreciated

Is there any Damage to the Display ? Or did you try restarting the phone ?

@ConnieS70 The way that the touch screen works is through capacitance. Essentially the screen detects a change in capacitance in that area of the screen and signals a touch has occurred. This does not require you to physically touch the screen. Therefore what you are seeing is really normal behaviour. 

You could try going to phone settings -> Display and make sure that (increased) Touch sensitivity is OFF.

I experienced the same issue with my Galaxy A15 5G before. After a restart, it began working again.
