Hi - helping out my technophobic uncle - does anyone know what this persistent boxed number is on the iPhone 13 screen? It won't go away - he's able to open apps and they work normally, but when he closes the app, the number is still there. The number doesn't change, it's stuck at 2:59.
Thanks for any help.

This is probably triggered by some third-party app.

Check the Wallpaper that he may be using. Looks like this may be a part of the Wallpaper. Change the Wallpaper and see whether that resolves the issue:
Open Settings ➔ Wallpaper: Here make the changes to determine whether it is the wallpaper or not.

Thank you, SravanKrA! He did restart the phone and it disappeared. Technophobic as he is, he's afraid it's a virus/malware. I'll tell him to check his third-party app. Thanks again!
It's not part of the wallpaper, it's superimposed on the icons. Thank you for your your suggestion, Axel Foley.
You are welcome. So, this must have been on the Home Screen(s) and on top of the app icons. Got it. Understood. Thanks for getting back to us.
