How to Fix Green Line on iPhone Screen?

It is very likely to experience problems with our iPhones from time to time. The most common of these problems are display and screen problems. Some of these problems are touch screen malfunctions, screen burn, ghost touch, frozen screen and green line…

In this article, we explain the causes and solutions of the green line that appears on the iPhone screen.

The Reasons Why Green Line Appear On iPhone Screen

iPhone X is Apple’s first smartphone with an OLED display. iPhone X and all the upper models were produced with OLED displays. The OLED displays allow the users to see crystal clear images, ultra whites and deep blacks more vividly. Despite all these features, OLED screens are not perfect. 

As well as producing rich colors, OLED screens possess the technology to conduct light to the pixels on the screen individually. The green line appears when there is an irregularity in the electrical voltage transmitted to these individual pixels. 

Green line on the screen is a very common problem in iPhone X models. However, it is not unusual to experience this problem with upper models. The solution of the green line appearing on iPhone screen is almost always getting the screen replaced. 

How to Disappear Green Line from iPhone Screen?

You can try  a couple of methods to get rid of the green line on the screen. 

  • Restart Your Phone: The first thing you should do when you encounter the green line on the screen is to restart your phone with hard reset. Because, this process allows you to get rid of any corrupted data and settings by clearing the cache. 

To restart your phone with a hard reset, first press and release the volume up button. Then do the same for the volume down button. Lastly, hold down the power button until the Apple logo appears on the screen. 

  • Update iOS By Using iTunes: To do this, you need a computer with iTunes installed and a lighting cable to connect your phone to the computer. Then connect your iPhone to the computer with the lighting cable and open iTunes. After, hard reset your phone by following the previous method. After this process Apple logo will appear on the screen. Keep holding on to the button even after seeing the logo. In this way, your phone will get into recovery mode. 

Click on the phone icon that appears on iTunes. Then select the “Update” option from the menu that pops up.

Updating your phone with this method protects your data. However, if you choose “Restore” option instead of “Update”, all settings and data will be deleted.

  • Customize Display Settings:  Try changing the screen and display settings to fix malfunctions.
  1. Settings > Display & Brightness > Brightness 

Your screen difficulties can be solved by decreasing the screen brightness.

  1. Settings > General > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Auto Brightness

By turning off auto-brightness, you can avoid your screen being excessively bright at inconvenient times. You can avoid issues like screen burn and increase battery life.

  1. Settings > Display & Brightness > True Tone

When you enable this feature, your iPhone adapts to ambient light conditions automatically, ensuring that colors appear consistent in all environments. This is a technique that can be used to avoid potential screen issues.

-Reset All Settings 

Settings > General > Reset and click Erase All Content and Settings

This is the last method you should try. Because if you reset your phone to factory settings, you will lose all of your data. If you're going to use this method, backup  your phone first. You can use iTunes or iCloud to back up your iPhone. You can restore your data from your iCloud backups while reinstalling the phone.

How to Fix Green Line Permanently?

A screen replacement is the only way to get rid of the green line that appears on your device's screen. The procedures listed above are only temporary. Even if the green line vanishes after following these ways, it will most likely reappear. As a result, you'll need a screen replacement to get the exact solution.
