Blurred App names in folders

OK I reproduced it by using a light wallpaper which enforces a black icon subtext and it may be a bug.

Remedy - change to a darker main wallpaper so that white text is enforced,

Then report it https://apple.com/feedback

If you look closely it is not blurred, it is black on black with grey shadows.

Try a diffetent wallpaper. Try changing home screen customisation to default (tap and hold homescreen background)

Now that you mention it, I saw that in the App Library a week or so ago. Restart also resolved it.

I don't recall seeing anyone else suggest app names inside a folder are blurry. I'm thinking it might be due to a setting in Liquid Glass, but I cannot duplicate anything which blurs app names in a folder myself. I wrote this to help people with Liquid Glass, so see if anything helps by trying the suggestions here --> Liquid Glass - Love It Or Hate It - It's … - Apple Community

Just updated to 27.2 and had the blurred app names in the folders. Fixed it by going to Accessibility and turning Increase Contrast and Reduce Transparency off. Hopefully Apple will fix this bug so I can turn them back on.

Because I don't remember ever seeing it I can't offer a remedy except remove any non standard customisation you may have installed.

Check you have no Accessibility overrides like enhance contrast etc

Resetting all Settings is a possibility.

That's not the same thing as what I saw at all. I think LD150 is right.

Increase contrast has undesirable consequences, but I can't remember what they are , if they still are.

I can't reproduce it, maybe post a screen shot?
