Hello DavidTapp,
Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. If you haven't tried yet, we recommend to restart your iPhone and see if this black dot disappears. Restarting your iPhone can help resolve unexpected behavior. Here's how:
How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, or later
1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.
These steps are outlined in this article and may help: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
If that doesn't help, please provide the community additional details of where this black dot appears. Is it in the middle of your screen, the upper left corner, etc. Does it appear while using other apps? Information like this can help the community gain a better understanding to provide you the best support.
Kind regards.
