How do I get rid of bright line on screen that appears in calendar monthly view?

I have a new iPad. While trying to close the calendar, I swiped up. Instead of closing the calendar, a bright, short red line came up. Now it stays in the same spot on my screen when I’m in monthly view regardless of the month I chose. How do I get rid of it?

iPad Air, iOS 12

This is certainly something new - or at least, not something of which I have seen previous reports.


I would initially suggest that you for force-close the Calendar App, then relaunch Calendar:

Quit and reopen an app on iPad - Apple Support


Force-closing the Calendar will force the App to restart, instead of suspending the App. This may be enough to correct the problem. If you continue to have difficulties, a forced-restart is the next step:


  • On an iPad with a Home button: Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
  • On other iPad models: Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the top button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.

Can you provide a screenshot? If you do, be careful to avoid showing any personal or sensitive information. If necessary, use the markup tools to obscure anything that you don’t wish to show.
