Display not working properly- pictures in negative

Pictures and web sites are in "negative" format, like in film. Colors are reversed, therefore not showing correctly. I have changed the Settings in "Display and Brightness" many times and still not displaying properly. The screen color "jumps" when opening an app. Some videos appear in negative format.

iOS updated to 14.3.1. Very strange. Help appreciated.

Hi PAL699,


Thanks for posting. It's certainly important to make sure your iPhone image appear as expected. It sounds like you're seeing inverted colors on images and we're happy to point you toward a setting that should help.


From your description, it sounds like you'll need to tap Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and turn off Smart Invert or Classic Invert. Let us know if that helps: Use display and text size preferences on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Take care.
