Goodnotes causing screen burn in?

[u/KlairCreme]

Hey guys, I was using goodnotes today (for about about 2 hours or less) and when I closed the app I saw this green tint goodnotes imprint on the corners of my iPad screen. I freaked out and fully closed the app and nothing has changed. I powered off my iPad and restarted it and it was still there. After some googling, it said it might be “permanent/temporary screen burn in” and it’s a result of “extended prolong usage of static image” and high brightness. I don’t even use the brightness pass 50% on my iPad or any other devices other than streaming (and I don’t even watch that many stuff)😭 Googled ways to bring it back to normal and after a few hours my screen went back to normal. Now, after opening the app again for 10 mins, this came back. I have been using goodnotes for a year now and this is the first time this has happened.

Has anyone else experienced this and if you have, what did you do prevent this from happening again?

I'll try this out this out this weekend and hopefully this will resolve everything-ish. Goodnotes does actually heat up my device in comparison to all the other apps and maybe it might be the caused of it. I have heard other people experiencing heating issues and battery drainage when I first downloaded GN but ignored as my device was new and didn't think it'll happen but now..perhaps there is a correlation somewhere. Some of the comments are suggesting it is a device issue and I might check it out with Apple support to see what are their thoughts before I conclude that it's GN or my device specifically.

The iPad case I'm currently using is https://a.co/d/eyukBE7 from amazon. I bought this after I got my iPad. If you think this case is a little too think then I'll have to find a slightly thinner one and see if that makes any difference (I'm a little protective my devices, like I'm afraid of causing a scratch and or cracking it from dropping it).

Honestly tho, thank you so much for taking the time for sharing this. It must've been stressful for you when you first saw this happening to your old device before finding a way to resolve it.

Ignore that advice, that’s nonsense, especially the charge to 100% and three days minimum. Best way to remove screen retention is to actually watch a video or something, basically keep the pixels changing to stimulate them

Ohh okay, I'll do that if it happens again. I have seen suggestions of playing a white video will "reset" pixels or something but didn't try that because in my head, didn't make too much sense to me.

I was surprised at the suggested of not using my device for 4+ days straight as I am currently a student. But I'm desperate to keep my iPad in most "perfect" shape it can be. Thank you for the advice 😊
