My bell pepper plant has these streaks on it. The app says it’s probably snails, but I haven’t seen any. What could this be? Should I cut off the leaves? I’m in south Florida and it’s been pretty cold lately.

That looks like leaf miners, take off affected leaves, then either spray with diluted neem oil or Spinosad for a few weeks

Looks like leaf miners and/or thrips.

Cut it off before it spreads!😬  
Then get a wet cloth and rap it around for 15min and spray it with neem oil.
