Safari adress bar bug when shifting night/day mode

Hey there yandax!

It sounds like you're having trouble with the URL bar in Safari while in Dark Mode.

Have you tried restarting the iPhone to see if that helps?

If so can you test after clearing Safari history? If you continue to run into issues after giving those steps a try, we would recommend reaching out Apple Support directly.

Go to settings then safari and uncheck “allow website tinting”

This has been an issue since the intro of iOS 15 and the new Safari version. Killing the app (not just closing it) resolves the issue for the day but it comes back at night. Luckily killing an app on an iPhone, IPad or Mac is pretty easy otherwise it would be a massive pain. But I’m amazed that Apple’s QA process did not pick up this very obvious flaw on a feature that is widely used.

Try tapping the aA button and move search bar to bottom and back.

Hi there,

i‘ve got the same problem, when the iPhone switches to day-mode…

Apparently it is a bug in ios. Are there any other solutions to solve this problem as restarting safari?

This happens to me, as well. Every night when my phone switches to night mode, the url font is impossible to read. I must kill Safari app and reopen. Once I do, the font is in the correct colors.

I also have the same issue

Same. It’s so annoying. I used to be able to force it to change by tapping the background but now that doesn’t even work.

Same problem here - in Dark Mode the Safari address bar sometimes turns white on white, which is unreadable. Restarting Safari fixes the issue for a while.

I have the same problem. Does Apple check these forums for bugs?

It just happened to me too it’s been happening since I got my 13 pro max, and then when I close safari and try to re open it, safari like crashes and I have to open safari again. Then it’s good.

Happens to me as well, iPhone 12 Pro. Very annoying.

Same here. I haven’t thought to try killing Safari, I’ll have to try tonight.

I have the same issue. 13 pro max.

Same problem here for both day and night, iPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 15.1.1
