Using iphone 13.. After updating to 18.1, a thin black horizontal line appears in photos app when i open an image. It disappears but the line keeps on appearing inconsistently. This happens only in photos app alone. When exited everything works fine. This could not be captured in screenshot also.
iPhone 13
Yes, after updating my iPhone 14 to iOS 18.1, I’ve noticed a recurring issue where a thin black horizontal line intermittently appears across images in the Photos app. The line is temporary, disappearing shortly after, but reappears inconsistently each time I view images. This behavior is isolated to the Photos app, as the line does not appear in other apps or system screens and cannot be captured in screenshots. This suggests it may be a display rendering issue specific to the Photos app on iOS 18.1.

I just noticed it this morning on my iPhone 12.(iOS 18.1)The line disappears within 15 to 20 seconds. Only in the photo app, however if you’ve created an album and you go to the Album and check it out, it’s not there. I was freaking out thinking something was wrong with my phone. Glad to see that I’m not the only one.
This is appearing for me as well. When spoken to apple they said to restore iOS version using laptop. I did the same but still the light appears. Apple needs to come out with a fix
I have the exact same problem. Model: 13 pro max
I have updated my iPhone 12 Pro to ios 18.1 and I also noticed that a black horizontal line appearing in my photos app. It appears only in photos app not in any other system app.
Same for me on my 14 Plus. It’s not really a big deal it’s just mildly annoying haha.
18.1.1 does not fix the issue
i have updated my iPhone 13 pro max to the latest update 18.1 and I see a vertical line that is randomly appearing with the photos app only it sometimes appears very visible and sometimes disappears gradually, it does not appear before on older IOS
When i showed your feedback about this to apple service, they advised me to be patient and wait for the next upcoming update (18.1.1 or 18.2) maybe apple might come with bug fix. So for now i am just holding on to it. But this was reported by only a handful of us. But personally, I am being sceptic about apple hearing this as they are disgustingly busy in marketing their apple intelligence.
I am also facing the same issue with black horizontal line which only appears in photos app , expecting that this solves after the new software update, this has been scary what if it turns whole screen to black lines, expecting the fix of the bug as soon as possible.
Hi, I have got the same bug and really hope that Apple will resolve this issue very soon with the next update! I have thought that it is a display issue but fortunately it is not.
Apple, please fix this bug!
Yes i’ve also updated to 18.1 and i am also facing this same black horizontal line issue..And interestingly in photos app only.
Apple you should solve this issue immediately i’m not ready to spend money on this thing instead already i’ve spent a lot of money for buying this brand new iphone 13 pro…
Please look through this..
Hello same problem I am facing in my 12 pro max. The photos app is displaying black horizontal line even when I scroll my photos inside the app. It stays for some moments and disappears. I have restarted using volume up down and power button method but no change. Even I have erased and reinstalled to factory settings but things don’t change. Pls fix this issue and also after updating to 18.1 the sound from the speakers have decreased and battery drain issues have been more.
Apple pls fix this bug specially for the customers who are not a part of your AI and are still happy with your older models.
Expecting a definite fix of these issues.
Hi,
I’m also having same issue where thin black line is appearing on my iPhone 14 Pro Max screen but it’s coming for all not only in photo app. It’s disappeared once then again showing now. @apple support please do something for this bug, it’s really annoying.
Regards,
Sujoy

Apple engineers are not here. This is a user to user site. We're all end users like your self.
Tell Apple about the problem via Feedback - Photos - Apple
