iOS 17 gray call screen

If car color is any indication of people's taste in color, gray is extremely popular. I drive a gray car myself.

I used to have a silver car. But, it's a very small car and half the cars in the country seem to be silver or grey so when I got a new one, I got one that's bright blue ("blue raspberry") so I can find it in parking lots. I'm not crazy about the color from a purely aesthetic perspective, but it's very functional.

Yes Dogcow, but we can acknowledge the value of other user's thoughts and make them feel welcome, even as we also encourage them to send feedback through proper channels. What you call commiseration can also be seen in a positive light as solidarity and helping people to know that they are not alone in their concerns. A little empathy and kindness go a long way in helping people feel better as we hope Apple makes an accommodation for those of us with less than perfect vision.

Hello~ While we may feel compassion …this is a technical forum and we give technical answers. Wouldn’t it be much better to actually help someone with their issue? I can assure you that is and always has been the intent of * Dogcow-Moof * who devotes hours of their own time volunteering here to do just that. How’s about you jump in and do the same and then you can complain.

Katana-San, it was not Dogcow-Moof I was referring to in my comment about a senior contributor repeatedly saying to me and others that they like the color and that we should simply get used to it in response to my expressing it presents a visual challenge due to my disability. I didn't think it necessary to mention the senior contributor by name because they likely know who they are and that's not the point anyway. We are here to help each other, and that includes helping each other be better. I appreciate the advice you have given me and I hope you see that I am acting in good faith here. Everything I have said is heartfelt, and I am always open to what others like you have to say in good faith as well.

Hello once more~ Yes…I read all 17 pages of this thread and knew exactly who you were referring to and see… now they are aware of your comments as well. That is why I made the comment about this being a technical forum. You are criticizing senior members who are very dedicated and selfless…that never goes down well. Probably best to not do that anymore? We help here for hours everyday and have for years…so giving a lecture about helping may not go over well either.

Default call screen on new IOS 17.3.1 out of place

The new default call screen on new IOS 17 And 17.4 out of place its confusing and looks and feels bad. It would be great if we could set a default call screen by ourselves so we could customize back to the way it was before, however it looks for the people who don't have personal contact cards, people who have disability's. Making these changes every other month is not good for disabled people who don't understand technology. so please give us this option in IOS 17.4

Hello~ Being both old and disabled myself I find their comments appalling. Also the color of the call screen doesn’t seem to affect me at all.

I'm old (except in my own mind) and have imperfect health. I would never want someone to make assumptions about my capabilities based on either of those factors. If there's something I can't do or need help with, I'll say something (or not, depending on what I think is appropriate). I think it's fine to ask people who appear to be struggling with a task if they would like help. But never assume.

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….

Hello~ The only thing we can count on is change whether we like it or not. It changed and it will change again….guaranteed. I can’t see well and can barely hold my iPhone in either hand but I focus the energy I have learning to adapt. We can argue, disagree and complain here from now on but it changes nothing. It is what it is and it will be what it is again. We are fellow forum members and can’t do a single thing to grant your wish. Argue on but best be prepared to deal with it and changes to come. I am sorry there are those that are unhappy with the change as over many years there have been changes that have made me raise an eyebrow as well but here I am continuing onward. Take care.

Yes what’s going on with this update gray ‼️‼️

Can we change the color background??

Is there a fix for the gray color on phone calls that came with iPhone newest update? It looks like the screen of an incoming FaceTime call. Confusing.

Even i hv mailed them regarding caller screen.

New interface is totally ugly 🤮
