iPhone X utilizes OLED screen which may also cause another problem that the screen will have slight visual change when you use the phone for a long time. That is screen burn-in. To prevent this, Apple suggests updating your iOS system, turning down the brightness of your phone, turning on “Auto Lock” under the “Display & Brightness” setting, avoiding high contrast image and not displaying static image for a long time. Also, you can disable the white Assistive Touch icon on your iPhone X to lower down the risk of such iPhone X screen problem. If you really need this icon, then do not put the icon always in the same place too long. However in case this problem already occurs, you can try to turn off your phone and restart your device to get rid of it.
