Unknown border around apps after iOS 27

How do I remove black outline around apps after iOS 27 update? It was not there previously, and I've already tried to check the customization settings & the accessibility settings in case it was something within those two. It looks much harsher when looking at the full screen too.

Please try this path,


iPhone > Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text > Show Borders > please toggle off and on and the restart your device. That might help or you might prefer the look of show borders. However, LD150 is correct, the glint you don’t like is how Apple designed the interface..


Apple has changed the look of Mac OS and iOS multiple times over the years. Every time there are those the are challenged by the changes in appearance and functionality of some aspects of the User Interface. This is nothing new. 


Apple’s installed user base is over 1.5 billion users. Making a single user interface perfectly compatible for every user is literally impossible. Apple will make changes (or not make changes) based partially on the feedback they receive through their official channel, linked below and good luck.

You prefer the long answer to the sassy one? Makes no difference, you still can’t have what you want.

If you don’t like it, don’t use tinted apps, it’s part of the design
