hey guys ever since i updated to ios 7 anytime i make a call or its active (texting or going online) a blue vertical line comes up and moves drom one side of the screen to the other it goes away but its annoying and it worries me
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.2
Definitely not good. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help have Apple check it out. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
The Blue box that scans the screen is supposed to be there when the Switch Control is active. It's very easy to turn it on, triple click the Home Button.
I advise you to go to Settings---> General---> Accessibilty---> Accessibility Shortcut---> uncheck all of them.
Also, check out this video to see how Switch Control works.

I think the problem many of us have had with this is that it SEEMS to have turned on by itself. I certainly didn't on purpose and I've no idea how it got toggled on, but the fix above fixed my issue. I literally had the problem for a week. Had it at 11pm one night, the next day I took it to the Genius Bar and it was gone...I hadn't done anything differently. Did I somehow hit the home key 3x turning it on? Maybe...probably...? My guess is the problem is that we are all turning it on/ioff by accident but it shouldn't be that easy to do so.
The home key 3 times does nothing. Total blue screen with vertical lines.
Thank you, Tris D, this has saved my day!
I have been struggling with the jumping blue selection square (and a scanning blue line, as above) for a week now...
Thinking back, I remember fiddling with the Accessibility settings a month ago, but never switching them on. Looks like the triple click did it.
Have a nice day!

Mine was a scrolling red vertical line and I too, was fiddling in the Accessibility settings. I followed the advise above and the problem was corrected.
Settings---> General---> Accessibilty---> Physical & Motor---> selected off for both switch control & assist touch

Hello guys... I had this problem just yesterday and fixed it myself. First, there is no need to reset your iphone. Mine is iOS 7.1.2 updated. Here`s how....
General---> Accessibility---> then Guided Access. Turn it off. Hope it helps !
how do you turn off
Settings---> General---> Accessibilty---> Switch Control---> and tick off.

TO turn off the blue / red horizontal lines. Tap the home button 3 times. I had this problem on my ipad and tapping the home button 3 times turns it off
