iOS status bar is near impossible to read in light mode - eviltoast

Is this common or unique to me? White text on the light background is fairly illegible.

    I can’t without putting my entire phone in dark mode permanently, which I don’t really want to do.

      On the helpful side, that’s not true:

      Settings >> Appearance >> Uncheck “Use System Light/Dark Mode” >> Check Dark Mode.

      On the unhelpful side, I have never seen the appeal of light mode. Curious why people prefer it?

        Honestly during the day I personally find light mode easier to read. I understand this seems uncommon but the contrast “feels” better. I use the “True Tone” on iPhone though which makes the whites not so stark and blinding.

          Same here, yeah. I also don’t enjoy seeing fingerprint smudges in broad daylight and light mode hides them better.

      There is a setting Use System Light/Dark Mode, if you uncheck that, you can select which mode you want.
