Red ghosting on iphone 12 mini running 14.5

There’s weird red ghosting effect that happens on screen when a dark object is in motion. I used to notice it on video playback before installing 14.5 but after 14.5 its way worse. UI elements in dark more are now showing the red dragging/ghosting effect and it’s annoying as ****. Does anyone else notice this?

Iphone 12 flickering in dark mode Hi everyone! I have noticed a very weird bug, only when my phone is on “dark mode” and I have installed a light color wallpaper. When I open app such as only 3 apps on left itunes,support,fitness and right tips,translate,podcast which all have a dark background during the “dark mode”, I get a white line of flickering lasting just 0,2/0,3 seconds on the left side and right side of the screen. This doesn’t happen in case I have a dark wallpaper or “light mode” on with any kind of wallpaper. Do you have the same problem? If yes, when will they fix this bug?

Ghost Screenshots While Using Apps and Internet Browsers Macbook Pro Ventura 13.3.1 While browsing the internet and using apps, the screenshot mechanics occur without any input. The screen flashes, a white border around the screen occurs. My screen flashes. The events are identical as if I were to initiate a screenshot myself. This happens when I am casually browsing the internet or using apps. There is no notification that a screenshot occurs and no screenshot is available in Finder to view in Preview. A similar thing occurs while using my iPhone iPhone 11 Pro iOS 16.1.1 While using apps on my iPhone, my screen flashes as if a screenshot were occurring. No screenshot is added to my photo library. This happens when I search using Safari. There is a problem with ghost screenshots and screen monitoring on my Macbook Pro and iPhone. I am concerned these are illegal activities from hackers/parties operating illegally OR an illegal Artificial Intelligence program. These problems are 1) a potential invasion of privacy 2) physically and mentally disorienting. Ghost screenshots on web browsers and apps are causing harm to my physical and mental health.

Disabling Nightshift lessens the ghosting effect but does not erase it. With night shift enabled its pretty much intolerable
