Hey everyone. I hope you like this video. I will be around for the next few hours watching the comments, so if you have any questions, I will try my best to help.
i am afraid it actually wont take years but just a few weeks, using an app like tiktok u will have several screen burns on the screen as happened with 2 of my teenagers both using a samsung s9.
Yes I have the same problem hmmm
And I don’t know what to do hmmm
I have a big purple thing on my AMOLED screen
very good
I have the tiktok “for you” button burned into my phone
I have tiktok burn in 😭
Dammm my battrey % is burn in😔
I have a tiktok for you screen burn with the little box on the bottom of my galaxy note 20. I wanna get rid of it cause it’s bothering me cause I notice it 😂😅
I drive Uber. Google maps burnt into my OnePlus 6 after 2 years driving 8 hours a day
I guess I should watch videos in portrait mode next time.
My android phone shows the keyboard and some app icons burned into the screen. It’s very annoying.
Can I ask my realme 8 started screen burn I don’t know how to fix this
I call b.s. as I burned in screen on samsung galaxy s9 and s10. YouTube is the reason on both as by always watching videos in portrait mode.
If YouTube had did a sudden change would have not did this. In one phone I used to fall asleep with my phone on YouTube so you can see the other videos. One my other phone also because YouTube doesn’t shift slightly I fell asleep and a video due to my wifi connection froze up and once again see the comments burned in.
Yes in 2022 it still is a problem.
I played a game for 2 weeks and the screen got burned (an idle game so it showed the same thing over and over again) but still…
Absolutely not helpful 😒
I have a Galaxy-S20-Ultra and the YouTube plat button is screen burned in my screen as well as the lower home screen app icons. So this it’s 100% real, the burns are quite light and not obvious when others are using my phone. I don’t have social media and don’t make alot of calls/texts that said i do enjoy YouTubes history, science, and history documentaries. This is the reason for a very evident “at least for me” play button screen burn which if anything shows my obsession with YouTube videos. That said I had NO idea phone screens did this however in the s20 defense I was aware of this in newer TV screens for example a business logo that’s constantly on screen regardless of what the tv is playing.
I bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max (OLED display if you didn’t know) and after 5 months of use already seeing screen burn in… I’m hoping it was just a bad batch or a very small chance of getting burn in so early but thought it was quite weird how soon it “burned”
i got a screen burn-in of the title of this video?? like??

I have a samsung a40, pretty much new
I got this phone in march this year and still got it
I have lcd screen I dont know why im here
Now most good phones are providing amoled screen. LCD is getting less used in phone these days.
What are ur thoughts on so called “screen burn in fixer” apps?
I guess dark mode did not exist yet in 2017
One more thing: DO NOT TRY “burn in fixer” apps and videos. All they do is degrade rhe pixels further.
Years??? Took my samsung a71 a few months. At first you could only see it when the screen is white but in only a few weeks i can see it all the time..
For anyone wondering. Screen burns are permanent. Apps or videos claiming they do are lies. It won’t fix it. You either gotta live with the screen burn or save money to get the screen replaced. I hear it happens to OLED screens because the use of micro pixels that emit light to RGB. These tiny pixels the lights eventually die out because of one: span of years or age of the phone use or heavy none stop use with high brightness set to MAX. Some icons in apps are heavy with these lights and burn into the screen.
“We are talking about years”. And this is the supposed authorities on the subject 😑. Hahahhaha a complete joke to any Samsung owner with burn in in just a few months.
several years? you mean 2 ? 3? 4 maybe??? 100000?? years what DO YOU MEAN BY SEVERAL YEARS???
Amazon and eBay sellers claim some of the phones are 2021 & 22 with burn-in. That’s barely two years.
My phone burns but not all the time. It has even burned so much it burned me through clothes. My phone is almost 1 year old but started doing this months after buying it.
Pixel off app: Too many 1* Reviews!
Several years! You wish the crappy quality of S21 and newer phones with 1080p graphics are horrible. My s22 is 10 months old, and I already have burn in on my led. Note, I’m a truck driver, so I usually use my phone 14 hours a day.
I think i watch wayyyy to much tiktok because i can see the plus button on the bottom of the screen where you can make videos
😂i have changed my touch screen and it got black spots on it, i have been suggested to heat it with a cigarette lighter ‚and guess what i have 🚬😂
I used to use night light i never gotten any burns but when i stopped using noght light i got acreen burns so now im using it again
Hogwash, my phone has burn in, and it wasn’t years of use that caused it.
Me
In months I haven’t even completed my phone’s EMI and it has burnt in 😢😂
My realme 3 pro with an ips lcd screen suffered from screen burn after about 3.5 years of heavy usage
I have had my phone for about 8 months, i use youtube shorts so much that the like and comment buttons are burned on.
Still didn’t see what an actual screen burn looks like
Wow thanks samsung, I have s20 fe and tiktok screen burn happened IN 2 GOD DAMN MONTHS, I hate life
After a few weeks (3) of using my phone as a webcam for 8 hours a day, you can clearly see Droidcam in pale red on a white page… hes claims it takes years..??? and yes it is a samsung…
After 3 years my Samsung A52S has burn in, the keyboard and some icons and a gradient. But outdoors I have to have it on max brightness, and still it’s quite dark, but if not outdoors I adjust it as necessary. IF I’m outdoors I was only taking photos or checking something a few times, calling someone or taking a call. But too low and image just looks dark, so I always need some brightness, unless it’s late and I sohuld have been sleeping, then my eyes can’t handle the light. And the dark does not look as dark.
But there does not seem to be a solution. This is a disappointment. I’m not sure what the gradient is, might bee a screen animation from swiping up.
The screen burn in is in red, so do the white of the google play store icon is red.
This is very noticeable with white back ground. But while gaming and watching videos it’s mostly unnoticeable
