Is there a way to remove the dark shadow on the apps name on the homescreen? iOS 16

Hi, I updated to iOS 16 but now the homescreen apps names have a very dark shadow and it looks awful if you use a light wallpaper. It looks dirty. And you can still notice it if you have a dark wallpaper. Is there a way to change this please?

iPhone X, iOS 16

Hello applecat_,


We appreciate you reaching out to the Community for help on this one!


This was a recent change with iOS 16. Currently the only way to adjust this would be to use a darker background or wallpaper.


If you wish to have Apple changed this behavior in a future update please leave product feedback here:

Take care.
