Burn in happened in my case under very very heavy usage, and in heavy usage I want to mean that the amount of time you open an app with certain static images displayed AND the amount of cpu usage that app is using and how hot it is making the phone.
Some would say cpu usage and temperature of the phone isn't related to burn in, only the time that those static images are displayed, but here's my case.
I used to play a certain game, that has static images (bars) on top of the screen and on the bottom. When I started this game, I was so addicted to it, it's an augmented reality game just like Pokémon Go (in fact it is the base of Pokémon go made by the same company) anyway I used to spend at least 4-6 hours waking around, most of the times under the sun, playing with the game open (game had to be open in order to track my km walked) with those bars on the screen.
And right after every play session I had, which as I mentioned were repetitive 4-6 hours sessions every day, sometimes more, with the phone being stressed and hot especially on summer days.
Point is, that other than those 2 bars, I havent experienced ANY sort of burn ins on both of my note 4s. (even the burn in happens on one of them only).
Daily apps like whatsapp, Facebook, emails etc.. You don't have to worry about them.
