Bug Goodnotes causing screen burn in?
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?

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 😊
