I'm sure that I am not the only one. After the IOS 17 update was shocked to see that horrible gray call screen. Who in the technical department decided that was a good idea? and also moving all the buttons to the bottom of the screen. Certainly is vey ugly as far a I'm concerned. I know there's no fix for it here, just getting it of my chest.

As I said the call screen has always been black, incoming or outgoing calls. Now with IOS 17 the call screen is an ugly gray color, with all the buttons that used to be in the middle now moved to the bottom. I'm not even sure if apple now why? I put in a request to apple support and was booked for a midday callback, that was 3 days ago.
Makes it hard to read the name of the caller. Grey with white lettering blends the 2 together. Now onto the outline the end call as where it is now, I always seem to almost end calls or if I do end calls its because I'm trying to switch apps while on the call. Multi-tasking there.

Hello~ The gray screen did not just happen with iOS 17.3.1. The part of these 19 pages of this thread that I don’t get is in the grand scheme of things…who really cares?? Talk about bizarre. SMH….

It both important and yet not. For some long time users they want minimal changes. For users like me where the aesthetics is both important and unimportant at the same time. Its a matter of accessibility for some. Due to my poor vision, the lack of contrast makes reading the caller ID all the harder to read. Plus from the lack of dexterity in my hands as well as in others, the placement of certain buttons like the end call button its difficult NOT to hit it when switching between apps especially you have a phone without the home button. I'm just getting acclimated to the swiping as I always had a phone with a home button. The swiping spot is very close to the end call button. One small move and the call is ended whether it's intentional or not.
Thanks for your reply. The gray screen problem is only when I make or receive phone calls. The call screen for as long as I can remember has always been black.
Totally agree !!! Most ugly screen I've seen
Yes it is horrible. I like to be able to see the picture of the person I am calling. I want the old version back. This is just depressing.
You can complain all you want but no one at
Apple is reading your comments here.
You have to complain here:
No, this is the color Apple chose in iOS 17 and isn't something you can change.
You can if you like, let Apple know what you think by providing feedback here --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Which is actually incorrect; this is the link where you should leave feedback:
This apparently is the correct one. Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Hey Sparks thanks for adding your voice to this. Please let Apple know what you think here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple. I already have. Hopefully they will listen to us.
Personally, I have no issue with it and for all you know most iOS 17 users feel the same.
But please let Apple know what you think at the link below:
Again, no one here can do anything about it, so complaining here accomplishes nothing.
Let Apple know of your opinion here:
Again, no one here could even suggest anything be done.
Tell Apple at the link below:
No, there is no way to rearrange or move buttons.
If you are upset by this, let Apple know:
