A "cracked screen" refers to a damaged display on devices like smartphones, tablets, or laptops. This often happens when the device is dropped or hit against a hard surface. The cracks can make it difficult to see the screen clearly and may affect touch sensitivity, making it hard to use the device properly. Repairing a cracked screen usually involves replacing the glass or the entire display. Many people choose to take their devices to a professional repair service, while others may attempt to fix it themselves using kits available online. Keeping devices in protective cases can help prevent future damage to the screen.
