Gray line on iPad’s screen
There’s a gray line on my iPad’s screen, but it only appears in the app library or when I open an app folder. Should I be worried? I also tried restarting my iPad, but the line didn’t go away.

You can easily determine if you have a hardware or software issue. A reliable method to confirm a screen or other hardware fault is to take a screenshot when the fault is evident - and then review the captured screenshot image...
When reviewed, if the lines are not present in the screenshot image, then you have demonstrated that you have a hardware fault that may require repair. If the lines are visible in the screenshot, the something other than hardware will be the cause.
Note: When reviewing the image, rotating the iPad screen orientation by 90°, from Portrait to Landscape, will ensure that the image does not coincide with screen defects if present.
