Sister was messing around with a UV light and noticed this on her phone screen under it. My phone does not have this (all I get is a grid of dots I'm pretty sure are to do with the touch screen).

Not sure what it might be but shape and position match those of the wireless charging coil.

That wouldn't be behind the screen nor rectangular

Charging coils can absolutely be rectangular.

They can't be behind the battery, though, so this can't be it.

They also can't be that long and still work with any efficiency.
