After applying a screen protector to my new Samsung Galaxy A36 5G, I am seeing a white stripe in the top right corner of my device's screen (see attached image). What could be causing this? Would removing and reapplying the screen protector be a solution? Or is it actually due to the AMOLED screen? Thank you for your support! sga36.jpeg on the right side of my device's screen (see attached image). What could be causing this? Would removing and reapplying the screen protector be a solution? Or is it actually due to the AMOLED screen? Thank you for your support!

I don't think the screen protector causes it; did it appear only after someone applied the screen protector? See if, it you remove it does it disappear, just could be the screen protector pinching weirdly.

@BenoîtVDP1987: This looks to me like the Edge Panel. If you head to Settings > Display > Edge panels, and toggle this option off, does the mark disappear? 

If so, but if you wanted to keep it, you can customise it's position by tapping on Edge panels > Handle, then explore the available customisation options from here (Position, Lock handle position, Transparency, Size and Width).

If you put a tip of your finger on the white stripe and hold and drag, does it move

This is the Edge panel on your device.

Swipe from right to left to access.

Perfectly normal 🙏

Thank you! It was indeed the edge panel and therefore not an issue 👍 It is peculiar that it only appeared after I applied the screen protector. Perhaps it was caused by sliding a card over the edge of the screen protector to remove the bubbles? In any case, thank you for your response 🙂👍

Yes, that's most likely what happened. I have my Edge panels turned off.
