Pixel 3 XL adding another notch: How to fix it
In a hilarious, albeit annoying, development, the all-new Pixel 3 XL is adding a second notch on the screen of the device. Unlike the original, physical notch sitting on top of the screen, this one is a virtual notch that looks exactly similar. The problem has been witnessed by a number of users, but there is a temporary fix for it. Here's how you can fix it.
Secondary notch appearing, but why?
Just a few weeks after Pixel 3 XL's official launch, the second notch started sprouting on some devices - either on the right or left side. Complaints regarding the issue, which seems to stem from a bug, flooded Reddit and Twitter.

Here's a possible fix until Google comes to the rescue
Google has told Android Police that it is aware of the issue and is working on a fix, which will be coming soon. However, in case you're facing the problem, we'd suggest restarting the device right away. Several users have reported that the issue is temporary and the phone goes back to normal once it is rebooted. So, try that.
However, this isn't the first Pixel issue
That said, it is worth noting that this isn't the first issue witnessed on the new Pixel phones. A little more than a week ago, several users reported that their new Pixel phones are not saving photos. For that too, Google has promised a fix.
