Iphone icon text unreadable - Orange/Black Background, Black Text

I see the issue has gone seemingly unresolved per The all app names are changed from black … - Apple Community


In the latest update, my text is now unreadable under the icons on my iPhone 11. I want them to change (contrary to the linked article), from black to white. Every suggestion I've followed online has netted no improvement in the readability of my text.

Hello Cthulhu709,


We understand you need help on your iPhone, specifically with the icon text color. Let's see if we can help with some settings that may cause the text to show black instead of white. We'll be using this guide: Use display and text size preferences on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


You may have Classic Invert enabled. To check, and disable this, follow these steps:


  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility.
  2. Tap Display & Text Size.
  3. Look at Classic Invert.
  4. If it shows enabled, disable it.
  5. Check your Home Screen icons.


If that doesn't resolve the issue, you might also test with a different wallpaper background and restart your iPhone as steps that could help. Reply back with how it goes.
