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.

As I learned from someones post and have posted my experience, the following will get you back on track in about 5 seconds.


This happened to me once and solved it once this way: Double click home. Swipe left/right until phone app is on top. Swipe up to close. Opened phone and it was working normally.


Sure this is a work around but it is simple and quick. Apple will fix it in the next update.


I really want to hear from someone saying "Yes, it worked for me." or that it didn't work.

I have the iphone8 and am having same issue. Happened few times last several weeks and again yesterday & day before. Very random. Also having issues when I type a text phone goes black for a second & text I was typing is gone. Just got rid of 6 that had the issues with battery like what happened with 6s. Because not the s version wouldn’t replace the battery so I had to pay for it. Apple really needs to address all these issues or people are not going to be so loyal to them. Hoping our x’s we get this week don’t have this issue!
