hidden remote view status bar

Recently noticed on my iPhone 7 that when I tap the carrier or network bar icons at top of screen a white, offset duplicate of the icons appear and then disappear when I let go.

Does this indicate my iPhone is being remotely viewed?

Yes.

Only joking, I highly doubt it. I’ve just tried on my iPhone 7, and I don’t get that issue. Have you had the screen replaced on the phone at any point?

Yes I have had the screen replaced

I would say it is more of a screen glitch than anything else, especially as it is on the edge of LCD.

The only way to test is to fit another screen temporarily and see if the glitch persists.

I personally wouldn’t worry, remotely accessing an iPhone is near on impossible without the user knowing.

Why do you think something like that is connected to something like remote viewing?

Thought it mean my iPhone screen is being viewed at another location and it’s bein mirrored? Or you think just a glitch ?

Certainly sounds like a glitch. It doesn't seem like something odd like that would mean that the screen is being viewed at another location, or really anything else in particular.

If the screen was mirrored you’d have the blue privacy status bar indicator (or blue privacy status indicator on the time for iPhone X).
