“Search” function a blur

My IPhone 11 Pro Max screen becomes a blur when I try to search for an app. I tried restarting my iPhone and so checked that the software is up to date. The other curious thing is that it then goes to the Apple News App without my telling (or wanting) it to.

IPhone 14 screen not responding in top left corner in most apps In some apps I open, the top left screen on my iPhone 14 pro max is not responsive. If there’s a back button or any kind of situation where I need to interact with that corner, it’s difficult to find the right place to touch the screen. Anyone else having that issue?

Wallpaper disappears After the upgrade to ios 16.1.1 (20B101) wallpaper has started disappearing; my iphone 11 just shows black screen with all tiles for apps. Same is true for library screen too. Restart phone, original wallpaper temporarily appears, and within minutes disappears leaving dark background settings - wallpaper seems to indicate current wallpaper as the correct one, however it is not showing on the real screen (vs implied settings) from time to time, especially on calls, screen turns black and nothing can be done to retrieve the phone ui or see numbers or call info; it is as if phone is locked with a call ongoing in the background. I sincerely hope that Apple is not forcing us to ditch iphone 11 and upgrade to a newer one.

Hello Sherjone.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that the News app opens on its own. We’re happy to help.

When searching your phone for content, the background blurring is expected behavior.

Which app(s) are you using when the News app opens? Does this happen intermittently? Do you have a protective case or screen protector on your phone?

Let’s try the steps here: If the screen isn’t working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Let us know the results.

Take care.
