Why is there a red bar at the top of my phone screen?

A thin red bar keeps showing up at the top of my phone screen when I unlock my phone, but this only happens when it’s unlocked with Touch ID. The red bar is only there for half a second and disappears straight away. Anyone know what this is or how to get rid of it?

Well... I didn’t know about that. I was trying to look for a solution and couldn’t find one. So I posted it when I figured out myself. Just trying to be helpful if anyone else is still looking for the solution. No harm done.
