Same problem for me. iPhone 15 Pro Germany.


Try to change something:

Step 1: Firstly, please head to Setting on your iPhone.

Step 2: Afterward, choose the Accessibility option and then to Display & Text Size.

Step 2: In this section, locate Reduce Transparency, and turn it off.



That worked for me but if I turn it on same flickering like before.


If I change my Wallpaper, the flickering is changing.


I would love to get a solution for that.

Troubleshooting Flickering Widgets and Notifications:


Reset the Home Screen Layout:

If a widget or app has gone mossing somehow, then you need to reset the Home Screen LayoutGo Here: Move and Organize Apps on iPhone - Apple Support. You'd have to add back all the widgets that you can recall being back on there. So, take a screenshotf each Home Screen to know what to place and where: Take a Screenshot On your iPhone - Apple Support

Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Tap: Reset Home Screen Layout
  5. Then... Add the apps back

Yes I have restarted my iPhone but the issue remains to be unsolved.



To answer the rest of your questions :


  • It only happens with the default Apple widgets like Battery Widget, screen time etc. Also the notifications in Notification Centre flicker as well.
  • I did not update the apps after Software update. However, all the apps are up to date already.
  • Removing and adding them does not help at all.


I have attached a Gif file recorded from my iPhone Screen to help you get the better understanding of the issue.
