What Should You Do After the Screen is Broken on Your Google Pixel?

If your Google Phone’s screen is broken, it can make the screen unresponsive. The phone can face the ghost touch problem. It means that the phone can perform actions even when you have not touched the screen. To avoid such situations, you should turn off your phone.
