What the heck? The past week I see a ghost of my keyboard constantly, especially annoying when viewing pics. It’s just there and it wasn’t before. This is since the update to ios 16.7.5.
I saw a lot of people with this problem in past years, but does anyone have a fix??
Did the last update include this as punishment for still having an iPhoneX?
Help…please…..
not everyone can afford a new phone 😢

If you are seeing a ghost image of your keyboard, then it is probably not a screen burn in.
Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

Howdy Marykrp,
This question has already been answered by a Community Specialist. The answer can be found here: IPhone X Keyboard Screen burn in - Apple Community
TLDR; You can Contact Apple Support and ask them about what you're seeing. Let them know if it's on every screen, or just within certain apps.
Let me know if you have any questions.
The Force Restart is NOT a factory reset. You will not lose any data or settings.
Without seeing it I do not know that it is a screen burn-in for sure, however, you mentioned that it was a ghost image of your keyboard and that makes me believe that it isn’t.

Thanks Jacob, I saw that post before I posted this-because that post was so old. I didn’t see a specialist resolve the issue there however. Unless I misunderstood, it seemed like people disagreeing, a lot of frustration, and people getting phones and displays replaced.
However since that was 4 years ago I was hoping it was resolved. I believe that was also about using dark mode, which I haven’t used recently.
I restarted my phone of course-guess I have to bring my phone in.
OH! If by solution, you mean the comment about using screensaver to fix the issue-he/she was mistakenly talking about an actual computer display. Unfortunately the problem everyone was having was with, not only iphone, but apparently just the iphoneX.
Thank you for trying 😢
@Axelfoley actually I didn’t restart it in the way you described! Is that a factory reset? If so, how do you know it’s not a burn? I’d love that to be true but Apple says it’s possible-so I’m wondering why you think that?
Hi Axel Foley, I tried restarting-it’s still there but I appreciate your optimism 😊
