As far as I saw the community posts, it seems that the white line issue occurred after the March 2024 update and this issue as impacted me as well as of today, I just put my phone on charge and after sometime when I checked there was a white line running through the middle of the screen.

Restarted my phone twice and line didn't go as usual. So this is a well planned way by Samsung to break our phones to force us to buy new ones or replace screens?

Even if we replaced it how long would that be okay or working fine and who would gurantee this issue won't occur.

It is the responsibility of Samsung to replace the screen from their side, due to this software flaw which makes the phone charge for a prolonged time and it inturn makes the phone to heat which causes this issue.

Please raise voice in Twitter and every platform and make Samsung to do the same as One Plus did. 

We thought this was a good phone and even suggested to our friends , yet this type of forced hardware failure is kinda ruining the brand name, didn't expect this from Samsung.

4/24/2024-Update: Since I had to use my phone for my work purposes I couldn't take my phone to service center yet to get the job sheet and even technical support person said it was okay as I already informed them about the issue, but the phone still gets heated for no reason and all of a sudden another line started to appear yesterday (4/23/2024) and when I checked my phone in the morning (4/24/2024) a new line popped up so totally 3 lines as of now. By this we get to know if we keep using our phone after one line and due to this flawed March 2024 security patch update this issue will not stop until either a free screen is replaced by Samsung along with a software patch which fixed this heating issue.
