Background colour of my App folders

I’ve just upgraded from iPhone 7+ to 11 Pro Max and the app folders colour is now a hard to look at pale grey. How do I change the background cover…please?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hello No_longer_a_shed_man,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We see you've posted asking about changing the background color of the folders on your iPhone Home Screen. While there isn't a direct way to change the color, we do have some steps that may help accomplish what you would like. You can make adjustment to the display accessibility settings.


  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility
  2. Tap Display & Text Size
  3. Disable Reduct Transparency
  4. Disable Increase Contrast


That should make the folder background "grey" color look much less significant. We also appreciate hearing feedback from our customers. If you would like to submit feedback and/or suggestions about this, you may do so here: Product Feedback


Take care.
