Since I installed the last update on the S8 phone, the screen becomes yellowish green slowly, sometimes horizontal lines appear. All icons disappear. Then if I keep the power button pressed for a long time sometimes the red power off button appears on the screen (sometimes nothing happens at all or sometimes the screen goes black). On clicking this power off button, the power actually does not go off but again the phone becomes normal after a while.

 

The yellowish green screen happens anytime - while using whatsapp, while using Grab app, ....

Please advise

Looks like a clean factory reset is required.
or you could run the phone in safe mode and see if it works well.
