Iphone 7 plus blurry screen when using phone mode

When I try and use my phone normally the screen comes up very blurry, you can see it is the most recent contacts black and red, missed calls, etc, just no way to do anything with the screen. I can use Siri and call that way but the other is not legible at all. Anyone have suggestions?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11

I had this same issue and i was able to resolve it. I double clicked the home button and closed all apps by swiping them to the top. Then i reopened the phone app and it was normal.

So you the boss here? Think that you can tell people what they can and can not say? I don't appreciate you calling my writing absurd. It was a joke man, lighten up. An android is a fine product. Many think it is superior to iOS


You don't have enough data to make the statement ...very small percentage... Just because the "hundred" that you have seen has not reported the problem doesn't mean that they have not or will not experienced the problem. Nor do you know what people not in your sphere of influence have experienced. There could be millions of people who have visited this post looking for a solution to their blurry screen but not commented and we have no data on that.


There is no guarantee that the process that you mentioned will solve the problem.


People like to choose the easy solution which in this case is to restart the device or perhaps they learned to close and restart the app on their own and not bother to report it to you or apple. This is why I have been encouraging people to contact Apple so they know how many people are having this problem.


You may be on to something with your observation that only one person is having this problem. My magnetic personality has been known to mess up electronics. Perhaps their are others like me.


Apple Genius, that cracks me up every time I hear it. What marketing genius came up with that?

It is happening to a lot of people. Android beta tests there updates and never has an issue on a global scale nearly every update. It’s ridiculous. People wait in line for

For a new iPhone that is nearly the same as the last. I use both iOS regularly and iPhone is only better in aesthetics and sound stability. Android has everything else. Hands down. That’s why Apple makes a big deal of a new phone to create the must have illusion so more people get in line. It’s just silly. Why doesn’t Apple take more pride in there product. Why?

In a throw away world created by greed and the large corporation it’s all about the sale after that you get minimal change because we keep purchasing a less than mediocre engineered device with constant issues but still pay outrageously for that. So Apple says, why change it if it works for us who cares if it works for you so they come out with a new phone to sidetrack you from the old issues and introduce you to your new issues.

Restarting by removing SIM card & turning phone off, then back on only works temporarily. It goes back to blurriness & I haveto keep performing this same procedure each time. I believe we have had this phone less than a year & blurriness issue did not begin until after the last I-phone update approximately a month ago ( I believe). Please advise on what I should do nefore returning to store.
