iOS status bar is near impossible to read in light mode (thelemmy.club)

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

Sadly this is a known iOS PWA issue. Nothing wefwef can do about it. Hopefully it is (or will be) fixed in iOS 17.

    Fix: put it in Dark Mode.

    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.

    I actually didn’t know it was visible at all. I glanced at it on occasion and could never make it out.

    Same here, I just assumed there was no status bar, as it is practically invisible. Now I can see it is there, just about. This is my pet peeve with wefwef - I appreciate it is actually an IOS problem. I hope Apple fix it soon, as I don’t like dark modes.

    I tried memmy, which does not have the status bar problem, but I still prefer wefwef. Memmy’s light mode is too faded for me - there is not enough contrast between fonts and the background.

    I have this too and I’ve seen others complain about it as well

    I think this is a iOS bug rather than Wefwef. I think I saw someone link to a long-standing WebKit bug a while ago

    Same issue. Dark mode is fine though.

    @baggyspandex

    That's what you get for using light mode you PSYCOPATH

    Jokes appart, I'm sure it will get worked out soon. May want to report it via official channels. I assume you're using MLEM, try reporting an issue in their official github here https://github.com/mlemgroup/mormaer-mlem
