This can also go for thunkable classic and any app builder out there.

When designing and building an app, it takes hours and hours of work sometimes. This can be a lot of fun, and having a live preview in front of you is great. But take great caution!!

I currently have a samsung s8 with an amoled screen (goes for oled screens too)

When using fantastic features like bottom tab navigator or the liking, you will experience screen burn in after a few hours. Now if this happens the first few times it should disappear, but take this as a warning. As soon as you see this, work on a project for 15-30 minutes at a time, then give your screen a break by either shutting it off or change the colours or going into a different app.

Screen burn in will not break your phone, but ruin your experience with it. You can see an example of screen burn in [here](https://www.google.com/search?q=screen+burn+in&rlz=1C1CHBF_enIE837IE837&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwit5eTPo-ziAhUUqXEKHQYCBYIQ_AUIECgB&biw=1920&bih=975#imgdii=rfYadXC_Yh-kIM:&imgrc=MIJZGKgCS0WL3M:). So please take caution. Let users in the community know to be careful, and if its not a big ask for thunkable developers, maybe in the editor leave a warning note in the top right when using this component and ones alike.

I have screen burn in on my phone now, and it does not look pretty.

Take care.
