How to remove a small grid square from my phone?

Hi,

This never happened to me until today and I was wondering how to get it off. It’s just a little square but, when I put my phone on power off or have a dark-ish background it’s noticeable, I’m pretty sure it isn’t a screen burn in because I don’t open my phone for long periods of time. I’m not sure what to do to get rid of it so it would really help if anyone has answers, the small square is really bugging me.

I understand that you are seeing the “square” even when your iPhone has been powered off.

——-

(1) Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF). 


(2)  If that does not help, then contact 👉 Official Apple Support OR you can always get your iPhone examined at the Apple Store 👉 Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options or at an Authorized Service Center for further diagnosis and evaluation.
