Red screen on 12 Pro Max

Has anyone with any model 12 had their screen background turn red? If so, how did you resolve it and return it it’s normal screen? Does this deserve an Apple call?

I just had this happen and could not figure out why or find answers online. I was however able to fix it by going into Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Color Filters and turned this feature off. I do not know if I inadvertently turned this on somehow, nor do I know how it went all the way to red. Once I turned it off the screen turned back to normal.

Hey there vkyburz,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having some issues with your screen. We're happy to provide some assistance.


Does this occur when using any app or specific apps? Was anything updated or changed when this started occurring?


This may seem like a simple step, but have you restarted your device? Restarting your device can resolve unexpected issues. Take a look here on how to restart your iPhone:
