Bright white light at the bottom of the screen

[Frabmos]

A bright white light is dominating the bottom of my screen where the home button should be. It dims the rest of the phone. It pops up every morning after charging. I can get rid of it by rebooting my phone in safe mode but this is not ideal to do EVERY day. Also, it seems to have affected the lock button. When I try to unlock the phone using the Bixby button, it takes around 10 attempts and the white light flashes at the bottom. I have a Note 10+ 5G, this issue started possibly after an update about a week ago.
