How is it possible?

[Android Central Question]

Hello! I unfortunately dropped my phone(Samsung S8+), and the screen has cracked, and the display shows the half of the normal, and the another half is only white, BUT If I open the YouTube, it will be normal (So i can see everything then), and if i close it, it will be white again. How is it possible?

Interesting, but the only cure for your phone is to replace the screen.

You urgently need to backup all your data because the screen could fail completely at anytime making it very difficult to access your files.

That is quite odd to say the least, but I totally agree that a backup is top priority while you have access. There are also a number of ways you can cast the screen to other devices, with a PC probably being the most effective as you can use a mouse to navigate the screens and apps. There's usually something that you need to turn on or enable to do this and often people get caught needing or wanting to do this after they've lost complete access due to screen damage. You can find methods on YouTube.

I've done it before, and the only thing that interests me is how the YouTube "fix" the screen.
