Why did the background color on phone calls change to ugly blue and gray?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16
I updated my iPhone to IOS 17.1.1 a few weeks ago, and since then, my background color when answering calls has changed to a dull grey color. It is not pleasant. At the same time, I only get small icons for callers, even though I have full screen set for incoming calls. What can I do to go back to the better screens options?

They grey background colour when I make a call . So ugly . Why have apple done this . I have a brand new phone . But I may take it back and get an android , . This colour is do depressing and spoils my phone .
Whenever my daughter calls me the background color is horrible. How do I change it?
No, my Home Screen hasn’t changed in months, but the background color on phone, which was a very nice solid blue, is now blue that fades into ugly gray, a couple weeks ago. My Home Screen is a photo that has many colors but no ugly gray.
Mine turned to this ugly brown! Help!!

This is something very different from before my last update. We need to know how to change from this dull greyish to a color we choose.
You can't. But, you can let Apple know you don't like it:

Read through the previous comments, the answer has already been given.
Why does only one of my callers have an ugly gold brown background?

How can you change the background color on phone calls which changed to grey after update to iOS 17
To the best of my knowledge, you can't.
Do you mean iOS 16? i’m still on iOS 16.7 but my phone call background colors have been changed for a long time to the newer, unfortunate colors, I think with iOS 16.
I’d rather be able to pick my own color preference.

Isn’t there any response from Apple to give a way we can use better color as background dull grey for calls. Seems it was a change which took place after the latest update.
Apple doesn't participate here in this user-to-user forum. You can contact them directly using the Support link at the bottom left of every page of these forums.
When I receive a tel call it’s a grey background which it wasn’t before ? I have just had it in for repair ?
Yes, it changed with iOS 17.
