Blue letters on lock screen

So I have an IPhone 11 Pro, I’ve had it for about a week. I just noticed that when I have my screen locked on the top right corner, I can see these blue letters. All I can see is “Ed...” I cannot tell what the rest of the letters are.. if I tilt my phone then the letters on the screen move but I can’t tell what the rest of the words are. What does this mean?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Hi there Patfc8m,


Thank you for choosing Apple Support Communities!


It sounds as though you’re seeing the letters “Ed” in the top right corner of your display when the screen is locked. You’re in the right place, we’d be glad to assist in seeking a solution.


Based on your description, it sounds as though the text you’re seeing may be part of the lock screen wallpaper that is set.


Below is a resource that can help:


Change the wallpaper on your iPhone


With Perspective Zoom turned on, the wallpaper moves as you tilt your screen.


If you have a backup of your lock screen wallpaper you can set a new lock screen wallpaper to see if the text disappears. The resource below can help with creating backups:

We hope this helps,

Cheers!
