Thank you ro the screenshot.


Troubleshooting Blinking Dynamic Island:

A. Start with a Restart:

See if a restart fixed this. Go here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


B. Update your iOS:

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update.

How to Update:

Other than through the iPhone, itself, you can use the following for your model:


C. Update All your Apps:

If you have any third-party Apps installed, then updates them all.


D. Ghost Touches

Clean the screen. Debris, dirt, or water on the screen can interfere with touch sensors and cause 'ghost touches'. So, clean it using a microfibre cloth.


E. Remove Screen Protector/Case:

A poorly fitting or damaged screen protector or case might be interfering with the display or sensors.


As a last resort...

F. Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings:

Go Here:  How to Factory Reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Back Up First:
