Hi jesscortess16,


That certainly is strange. It sounds like it could either be a software glitch or the display itself is artifacting. I would attempt the following:


1) Force restart the phone by pressing and holding power & volume down (for iPhone 7 & 7 Plus), power & home button (for all models earlier than iPhone 7 and 7 Plus) or quick press volume up, quick press volume down and then hold the power button (for iPhone 8 and 8 Plus).


If this doesn't work


2) Make sure your iOS is updated to the latest version.


If this doesn't work


3) Contact Apple support and see if you would need to schedule a repair.


There may be other advice that can be offered that I have missed out, so wait to see what others reply to this problem with too.


Hope this helps.
