Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, 7469,


We understand you're seeing the colors on your apps change. We'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.


Check if Invert Colors are enabled:

  1. Settings
  2. Accessibility
  3. Display & Text Size
  4. Check for Invert Colors or Smart Invert being enabled.


This article explains more about Invert Colors:

Use display and text size preferences on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

"Turn on Invert Colors

If you benefit from viewing items against a dark background, you can use Invert Colors to change how content is displayed on your screen. 

To use Invert Colors, open the Settings app, then tap Accessibility > Display & Text Size. Turn on Smart Invert or Classic Invert.

Smart Invert

Smart Invert reverses the colors on the display, except for images, media, and some apps that use dark color styles.

Classic Invert

Classic Invert reverses all colors on the display."


Regards.
