Horizontal black line in photos app after updating 18.1

Using iphone 13.. After updating to 18.1, a thin black horizontal line appears in photos app when i open an image. It disappears but the line keeps on appearing inconsistently. This happens only in photos app alone. When exited everything works fine. This could not be captured in screenshot also.

Yes, after updating my iPhone 14 to iOS 18.1, I’ve noticed a recurring issue where a thin black horizontal line intermittently appears across images in the Photos app. The line is temporary, disappearing shortly after, but reappears inconsistently each time I view images. This behavior is isolated to the Photos app, as the line does not appear in other apps or system screens and cannot be captured in screenshots. This suggests it may be a display rendering issue specific to the Photos app on iOS 18.1.

When i showed your feedback about this to apple service, they advised me to be patient and wait for the next upcoming update (18.1.1 or 18.2) maybe apple might come with bug fix. So for now i am just holding on to it. But this was reported by only a handful of us. But personally, I am being sceptic about apple hearing this as they are disgustingly busy in marketing their apple intelligence.
