These look like 2 separate issues. Not sure what the 1st image is but the 2nd image with the thin long brown patch looks like a sign of thrips. Check the underside of the leafs. Do you see any long white or brown insects? Thrips usually suck on sap of the plant near the plant’s veins

I’ve just checked, no thrips :/

Ok. Variegated leaves can be sensitive to direct sun. Maybe that’s it. I noticed it’s on a window sill what direction is it facing? South windows may be too bright for it.

One of the leaves on my White Princess Philodendron just recently developed these light brown ‘bruises’ on the leaves…def makes sense about the too much light! I’ll move it and see if it helps 😎🪴
