Hello SIRAFIL,


From your post it appears that you have a concern about a black line appearing on the screen.


We would start by power cycling the iPhone using these instructions: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support. While simple, this can refresh the iOS, apps and connections. 


If the issue remains, we would recommend having the device examined by a service Advisor. You can find an Apple Authorized Service Provider using the Apple Support App on any iOS device. You can also find them from here: Apple - Find Locations


Cheers.
