A thin black line has appeared across the screen of my iPad Pro seemingly out of nowhere as well as a glitching white line along the very top of the screen. I only bought this iPad in October and everything else seems to be working fine it’s just irritating whilst trying to get work done
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi
A forced-restart of your iPad is the first action to perform - as this will often resolve a latent software issue:
When the line appears across the screen, take a screenshot. Once the screenshot has been captured, examine the image. Is the line visible in the screenshot? Rotating the orientation of the iPad by 90° will ensure that the line in the captured image does not coincide with line on the screen.
If the line is present on-screen, but not the screenshot, then you have a hardware fault - requiring repair.
If the line is present on-screen and the screenshot, then the issue is related to software.

This is how I stopped the appearing/disappearing thin black horizontal line on iPad 14.3. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Cross-Fade Transitions. Toggle off. Hope this works for you.
