screen protectors

My iPhone 8 has 2 sensors above the speaker and front facing camera to the left of the speaker, if these are covered by a clear screen saver does it effect there function. Is it detrimental?

iPhone 5, iOS 10

What are the screen sensors on my iPad Pro 2020 I have added a paper texture screen protector to my iPad Pro 12.9, there are cutouts for the camera and sensors. Where I have not perfectly aligned the protector the cutouts very slightly obscure the 2 outer most sensors and (if you are looking at the sensors with them at the top of the screen) the left sensor in the middle row of 5 sensors/mic. I cannot find anywhere online that specifies what these other sensors are. Face recognition is working fine but I’m concerned clipping the edge of the others will effect functionality.

Hello,

It definitely will affect the functionality. You should get a screen protector specially for the iPhone 8 that does not cover any of the openings.

Good luck.
