Latest iOS update messed up appearance on iPhone

When you say, “The latest iOS update has messed with so many appearance settings that didn’t need to be changed,” you need to be more specific about what has actually changed.

Please post comparative screenshots showing the appearance before and after the iOS update, and clearly explain the differences you have noticed. Identify the specific settings, interface elements, or visual behaviours that have changed and explain what was different in the previous iOS version.

Merely stating that the update has “messed up” the appearance does not tell us whether Apple has actually changed the interface, modified a particular setting, introduced a bug, or simply made a design change that you do not like.

There is a difference between disliking a design change and identifying a technical problem. If you find the new appearance less convenient or less attractive, that is a matter of personal preference. However, if a setting no longer works as expected, an interface element has disappeared, or something is displaying incorrectly, that is a specific issue that can be investigated.

Without comparative screenshots and a clear explanation of the changes, it is difficult for anyone to determine whether the latest iOS update has introduced a genuine problem or whether you are simply unhappy with the new appearance.

They either reset my preferences and/or changed the increase contrast, Liquid Glass, tinting, light vs. dark. The flashlight and camera icons on the wake up screen are now black instead of white and you can’t fix it. Why did they have to mess with all these settings and then on top of that added an Appearance setting with more crap to adjust? Who cares about all the fancy shading etc?
