Weird bright white bar on the top of my screen

[wisterial_x]

Hii my phone has some kind of horizontal white bar which is aligned with the camera circle and it's only on the right side. I was wondering how to get rid of it? I got this phone a few days ago from my dad and apparently it appeared just a bit before I received it so I'm not sure where it came from..

Update : I'm back! for those who have the same issue, I've found out that the eye comfort shield function has helped with this issue so that it's no longer a solid white bar though it's still visible as a translucent black bar kind of? I hope this can help you guys out^^

@wisterial_x Typically these are caused by broken hardware. A device drop could cause something like this. Have you tried running any diagnostics in the Samsung Members app? Have you tried booting into safe mode?

This is not a hardware issue. This happened to my phone after the last update, and I treat my phone with exceptional care.

Honestly I don't think it's a hardware malfunction, becaus ei have the exact same problem on the exact same part of the phone , it will be such a coincidence that we both drop the phone at the same angle, this question shouldn't be marked as answered as I believe there is more to check

I'm having the exact same issue...and no, I didn't drop the phone. I had just plugged it into the charger, and this weird light popped up.  

  Has anyone found a fix?

I have the same white line issue. Is there a fix?
