Hi Rpkkol,


Thanks for reaching out here in the Apple Support Communities. I understand that your iPhone is showing a gray screen with a white Dismiss button at the bottom, and you'd like to stop it from appearing.

I'm glad to help with this.


A good first step whenever anything is not behaving as you expect, is to restart the iPhone using “slide to power off”, which can often clear up issues. This explains how: Restart your iPhone 


If you still see this screen after restarting, share some more details, such as:

  • What app or feature are you using when this appears.
  • What happens when you tap on dismiss
  • Which iPhone and exact version of iOS you have


Best Regards.

Hi, this is happening with my iPhone 7 Plus too. Restarted phone and made no difference. It’s been going on since I sent the port text to switch my phones network. Doesn’t happy consistently happens when I go to dial a number, on apps such as games and Facebook and reading texts, just pops up. Before I had it and it was listing functions :s said something like accepted with a long list. White writing. Please help as only had my phone 2 years
