iOS 7 iPhone 5 white blotch on top left corner of Screen

Agreed. Working with Apple on several fixes to their issues. Unfortunately they can't fix this one yet

I think the gmaps icon and the apple zoom feature together cause the issue. Thats why the placement of the gmaps app affects this. its the big white g zooming off the screen and it pauses for a second. I moved the app one over and the disc was happening on the right side. Then I moved it all the way to the bottom and it stopped happening. Guess it could happen with others icons too.

I am using iPhone 5s (ios: 7.0.4), I am also facing this issue but I did not installed Google Maps app ever. So this is not because of google maps app. I see this happening when I open any app. I see this issue with many apps ? Is this an iOS 7 issue ?

Any solution Apple folks or any other person can provide to get rid of this issue ?

Thanks

I dont have google map app installed on my phone, I still see this issue. iPhone 5s, ios: 7.0.4

One of my apps has a long name, so when I try to open any app, the tail part of long text is not transitioned properly and it appears as a white blotch on top left of screen.

I have a video that I caprtured but don't know how to upload here.

this could be a possibly a bug in iOS...any thoughts ?

I figured out how 2 ways to correct the issue momentarily. Really it's only a work around to remove the spot.

1. The shows only on apps in a folder and the folder is on the top 2 rows. To remove the spot from showing, move whatever folder holds the apps showing the spot to a lower row on your phone.

2. Turn on Reduce Motion and your apps will fade in and out and the spot is gone as well.

Has nothing to do with length of name. I have been working with Apple Managers and Dev Team to correct.

Moving apps/folders to which include any apps that because this issue to lower parts of your screen will correct the issue.

Thanks dude. I had same problem. Moved the maps app and it's fixed.

Iphone 5 16gb IOS 7.1

Same/similar issue

Whether opening an app directly, or spotlight search and opening. (Possibly more prevalent through search)

White "Blob" that appears to be a piece of text zoomed in very far and pixelated located on either the top left or right of the screen after the app launches.

I've had this issue for a long time. Definitely since the IOS 7.0, but yet not the entire time.

Maybe only the last 4-6? Months?

I checked my Google maps location, and found it in a folder on the second page.

However, I did have Google chrome in a folder on page one, column two, row two.

I moved it to page two, to no avail.

Then I moved Gmail from page one, row two, column three to page two. And for now, the problem seems gone.

I'll play with it more and see if I can duplicate it by replacing apps to their old locations.

Maybe I'll get overly ambitious and post up a video

Weird huh?

Figure out which apps because the spot. Them move those to a new folder lower on your screen. Preferably bottom 2 rows. Should fix your issue.

It's nothing to do with google maps for me,turning on location services make it appear n as location services off,it's gone away & never appear.

So what fixed it for me was...

If you have any app on the home screen with an overly long name, eg CityMaps2Go, then this will happen. I moved that app into a folder and I don't see this issue any more.

OMG! Moving Google Maps App worked! I had same screen issue, my Google Maps was second row third column. Moved it to third row and problem went away. Oddly, issue was only on iPod touch 5th gen. My iPad Air didn't do it, even though my Google Maps is in second row.

iOS 7.1.1 is when mine started.
