Hi @Ipt and welcome to the community. 

The setting for magnification gestures can create an orange frame around the screen when you double tap on your screen. I recommend that you make sure this setting isn't enabled. To do so go to: Settings > Accessibility > Magnification gestures > off.

If you are still experiencing the same behavior I would recommend that you restart your device to safe mode to see if this behavior is caused by one of your downloaded apps as these will be temporarily disabled in this mode.

Let me know how it goes.
