Have just done a couple of walks using the workout on my apple Watch and in the activity app on the phone it shows the map in dark....is this now normal??
If there’s a setting to change back to a normal daytime style map view can someone show me where?
for reference have light mode on the phone in ios13 and walked in day and night and both the same
thanks

Thanks for the reply but if you look at what I wrote it is to do with the map in the activity app when you use the workout on the Apple Watch.
The map of the activity is showing as dark and not as it used to - like the normal maps view.
it stays the same in dark or light mode.
I have exactly the same question. The Activity Workouts map is now far too dark. I agree that this cannot be fixed by going to Settings > Display & Brightness > Appearance. Thank you for posting.
I’ve since spoken to Apple about this and had conflicting views. One tech told me this is by design to highlight the route you’ve walked/run etc so you can see it more clearly against the dark background. Others suggested it wasn’t as that and should be changed with dark/light mode.
i kind of think it’s by design...which I think is really poor as you can’t see the map clearly
I really dislike the dark map. Whoever’s idea it was, it was not a good idea. Are you listening Apple?? Please fix this.
Really would like to see this fixed a well.
I have the same issue. I’d like to know if there is a way to make the map in the workout/activity section have a light/daylight background like before.
I would love to know the answer to this. Not really liking the dark map.
I agree. I do not like the dark map. Why was it changed and why can it not be changed back?
S it seems its 'by design' I've spoken to Apple about it and they say its so its easier to see the colours on the route.
Don't like it though, but hey it seems we're stuck with it!
I think it looks terrible in dark colours and don’t like it at all.
I hope we are NOT going to be stuck with it.
Thanks for asking this question. The replies pretty much back up what I thought. Why do apple always insist they know best? Really annoying.
I’m also frustrated by the dark map. It’s been several months since this thread was started and still no response from Apple?
Workout map In Activity app dark?
