3 icons always on screen

[Stizzen]

Hi, i v been trying to understand what are those 3 icons on the left top corner of my screen for a while. If I take a screenshot from my phone they don't show, I had to take a picture with another phone. They are always on, on any app or game running. Pls help me they are so annoying

Welcome to Android Central! Looks like they are a sort of "edge" widgets or icons - one looks like a Settings gear.

One looks like a pause, could it be a music player? I have players that allow for controls on the screen when the app is down- could that be it? Have you tried tapping the settings?

Just me, but I actually think it looks kinda cool, sort of a "screen burn" effect.

The fact that the icons don't show up on screenshots makes me think that it could be burn-in.

are you sure it's not a thin sticker that is placed on the screen? if not then i agree it's probably burn in.

Just one question, have those icons been there since day one or they showed up all of a sudden?

Javier ù are right. They are burn in. These are the icon of a game that a play a lot and I just realized that. How couls have it happened? I dont think there ismt anything i can do, aside change the screen, right?

To be clear those are the icons in game.

Yep, definitely burn in, those white icons did it. There are some apps that claim to fix it, but I've never used any and I'm a bit sceptical about them.
