iPhone 11- green lines

when I take photos on my new iphone 11 I get these green lines appear covering the screen, has anyone else experienced this and do you know how to fix it? I haven’t dropped it at all and I only bought it less than a week ago.

that’s exactly what happened to mine, it happened once or twice but now it seems to be happening more frequently especially when I take Snapchat’s. I’ve only dropped my phone once but it wasn’t serious and it’s never come into contact with any liquids. I’ve had my phone since December of last year. I think it may be a hardware problem but with a phone this new I am not entirely sure, could someone help me out please

Hello everyone. For those who are having the same issue as mine: Just so you know, I sent my iPhone, covered by warranty, for repair on an authorized apple service provider last week. After a day, the technician informed me that they had ran diagnostics on my phone and their next step was to replace the screen to see if it was a display problem so I needed to wait for a few days more. A week had passed they called me to say that even if they had replaced the screen of my unit, the flickering green horizontal bar on messenger still occurs and they found out it wasn't a hardware defect but a software issue instead. They advised me to update to iOS 14 as soon as it comes out for the bug to disappear. So guys, no need to panic (though I'm pretty sure there will be lots of new bugs coming out too on the new software version. Haha. Kidding ✌🏻) At least we know there is nothing wrong with the hardware our phone.
