How to remove scratches from iPhone screen?

I am not sure if it was my keys or what, but I have a scratch on my iPhone screen after removing it from my pocket. Anyone know if I would be able to remove the scratches myself? The screen works fine, but the scratch is annoying. Thanks in advance!

I purchased a refurb Pixel 3a phone that had a DEEP scratch in the Gorilla Glass.

Putting a new tempered glass screen protector did not hide the scratch and actually seemed to make it worse as it shows up like a white line shaped air bubble under the protector.

However, by dipping a toothpick in vegetable oil and using it to fill the scratch with a little oil and then putting on the tempered glass screen protector, the scratch literally DISAPPEARED. When you first put the protector on top of the oil, you will see a visible a border between where the oil is being dispersed across the screen and where it is not, but if you press on it like you would to remove air bubbles and then let it settle for about 20 minutes, the scratch disappears without any indication of the oil underneath.

You may want to experiment with an old glass screen protector to get the hang of it before putting on the final one.

I have not seen this remedy anywhere else on the Internet, but it works! I took inspiration from various DIY solutions that talk about using vegetable oil to make the white edge that sometimes appear around the edge of tempered glass protectors on iPhones disappear. That remedy didn't work so well, but works great for this application.

I just got the iPhone 5 two days ago and I already notice scratches on the back side. Why is this?

There have been numerous complaints about how easily the iPhone 5 scratches. I also read that the black iPhone is more prone to scratches, possibly because it's easier to see the scratches on it. The reason for this is because of the new aluminum material used, which apparently doesn't do well against scratches. I'm sure Apple will fix this problem as more complaints are coming in.
