Why is there a half hidden LTE sign on my iPhone in the top left?

Hello,


Ever since iOS 16 came put and I updated my iPhone X to it, I’ve noticed this show up on my phone.



Because I’ve visually impaired, I use the Zoom feature on my devices and being curious about what this was, I zoomed in and saw it says LTE.



Why does my phone show this on the Home Screen and Lock Screen?


Sincerely,


Captain

iPhone X, iOS 16

Did you take a screenshot on the phone and are using that screenshot as your wallpaper? Try a different wallpaper and see if it goes away.

I don’t have Zoomed enabled.

Even though I’ve got terrible vision, and should be using this, I have never and simply refuse to because it looks my phone so dorky looking and I already get plenty of comments because I use devices so close to my face anyhow.


This has never been a enabled, yet the LTE occasionally shows up in the top left corner of my Home Screen half cut off.
