I tried toothpick, blow dryer, credit card and even a thumbtack! Toothpick seems to come up a lot with solutions but idk if I’m just using cheap toothpicks because they break instantly when putting pressure.

You think Apple Store will have a solution without buying a whole new screen? I really hate this screen protector I have. It leaves a lot of smudges and fingerprints! Super annoyed with this 😒😤

I’ve never encountered this issue before, usually my fingernail was good enough. But if it doesn’t work for you, try using a cutter blade, just the blade! Place it flat, sharp side against a corner of the protector and push carefully

What make of screen protector did you use ?

If it's a plastic film style, I take a strip of packing or Scotch tape and put it diagonally across a corner. Use the two free sides to lift up. The idea is you want to lift off a corner of the protector where it has the least adhesive.
