Image retention
I’ve started to see some image retention on screen. And I have an iPad 8. What should I do?

You are not going to like this answer, but this works.
Here's what I advise for any iOS device with screen image burn-in, “image persistance” issues.
Charge the device to 100%.
Completely power down the iPhone/IPad/Watch.
Un-pair the Watch from your iPhone. Fully power down the Watch.
DO NOT use or turn on the Apple device for 3-4 days to let the screen pixels have enough time to “de- energise”.
Five days, I feel, is ideal, but 3-4 days of powered down, non-use is, usually, sufficient enough.
If you turn on the device prematurely and screen burn- in/“image persistance” is still noticeable, you will only have to do this entire full procedure for another 3-4 days.
If this works, the screen burn-in/“image persistance” should NOT return for quite some time.
This has happened with all of my iOS devices, at one time or another, and with iPhones and iPads, I had to go the full straight 4 days to get rid of the screen burn-in.
It usually comes back anywhere between 9 months to two years, or so.
Best of Luck to You!
