horizontal line near bottom of screen, why?

There is a horizontal line about 4/5 of the way down across my iphone 11 screen. Why? How did I get it & how do I eliminate it?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hello Garyjyogi,


Let's use the steps below to restart your iPhone:


1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
The volume button is located on the left side of the device, and the side button is located on the right

2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo.


You can also find those steps in this resource: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support Restarting can sometimes help address odd behaviors.


Should that line still persist, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support so they can look into your options further: Contact - Official Apple Support


Take care.
