Did update yesterday and my pictures all duplicated. Reset phone and cleared that.

But spent quite a bit of time with Verizon and black dot top middle of phone on home screen will not go away. Suddenly appeared today. It is for camera. Got it to go away and hide on all apps.so is someone watching? Creepy. Fix this please. Shows on home screen and can't get rid of it.

Help!!

@Teddy76 It was always there, it was just "hidden" by a black bar. To get that back, 

  1. Open phone settings
  2. Click on Display
  3. Click on Camera cutout
  4. Click on Hide camera cutout.
