Latest update to iOS 17 put a big gray poster background with white font on each of my contacts. Unless they used a custom photo, it is nearly impossible to read.
For clarification, I’m an older adult and my eyes aren’t what they used to be so most of my settings are set to a black background with a gray font.
Has anyone figured out how to change that gray poster box without having to do it on each contact one at a time?
I called Apple support and you can change the background color by hitting edit one the contact then the edit picture and then chose color or for some of them I didn’t have that option so had to hit monogram ( put the first letter in the first circle) then pick the color you want. Each one has to be done individually but for my 95 year old mother I had to do it. Fortunately her iPad and phone are connected so at least I only had to do it on the phone.
The initial view of CONTACTS in IOS should be as minimalist as GOOGLE’s home SEARCH page. As untroubled with clutter as possible, and as laser-focused on USE as possible.
An apple beta version was mentioned in a previous text. I don’t recall ever seeing or be invited to participate. Has anyone else? Do we know how to get on their list?
I agree that I want the old style back where there's less up top before you get to the actual contact information we want to be able to see.
This is not a good option if, like me, you have almost 1000 contacts.
I agree!
We need an automatic fix to all contacts looking like they used to…doing it one at a time is impossible-waste of time, tedious; etc.
Is there a way to contact Apple to change it back- or an option for all the contacts at once going back to the way it was?
Is there a way to remove the big grey box on my contacts? It's hard to read.

No.
It is really horrid. I want to see the number and name first up not some completley unnecessary big grey blob. How can we get rid of that?
It would be nice to have an option to set a poster for all contacts or a list (group)
My contact pictures have turned black
This feature is terrible. I don't care to add photos for each and every contact (if any at all), so why is 3/4 of the screen dedicated to the contact photo? It's an eye sore
Colour mixing,designing and a likes are only making iPhone look like android.let us atleast downgrade and improve our iOS 16 than bringing iOS 17 , something not ready for consumption.
