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.

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
Tell Apple:
Your suggestion that because someone is "disabled", they don't understand technology is a bit not nice. "Disabled" could mean they use a wheelchair. Or they have a heart condition. Or any one of a huge number of things that don't prevent them from understanding technology. Also, just for the record, being old doesn't mean you don't understand technology.

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.
Tell Apple:
Screenshots for everyone to see how ugly it is and hopefully someone from apple will see and fix it next update, I was so excited when 17.0.3 came out, I was like … maybe they fixed the grey call screen, to my surprise all the devs did was fix the overheating issue on iPhone 15. Even the background of my screenshots is better lol, good ole black
The blurring on top is intentional so that photo details do not interfere with the legibility of the time/signal/battery information or other controls at the top of the screen when the poster is displayed due to an incoming call.
Agree with what I've read here. ... Firstly, yep, I have already used the link to report my dislike of the new 'Gray' color, as well as the layout in general. - For me, it's like some others have noted. I too have some issues with my eyes, and I find the new color much harder to see overall. Plus, though I do use AirPods mostly, when I do have to use the phone with my hands, I do prefer just one handed operation. But with the buttons moved to the bottom, it makes it harder since I have to hold the body of the phone lower down in my hand, making it easier to drop it, since the buttons are harder to reach one-handed now. (All this was reported)
Since I just updated recently, I'm still fairly new to all this, but found it odd when I happened to call my office phone, it actually shows up a light brown? This is the only number I've seen do this so far, with all others being in the awful Gray, but was just wondering if anyone else seen similar? Plus, like was stated, the new layout does require one to have to do additional scrolling when contacts have multiple contact numbers, which to be honest, most of my staff and contacts do. Just a very poor design layout in my opinion.
iOS version is 17.1.1
Screenshot of the brown background...
Agreed. Prefer the old layout and color.
Same! It’s horrible I’ve been looking how I could change it. Looks like prison colors
Ok I went to Settings -> Contacts as you instructed and this is what I see on my phone. I don't see anything about this new feature or how to prevent my personal information from being shared with those I call. How do I protect my privacy?:
I hate the gray screen too. Please change it back. Who thought we would like that and the buttons rearranged. Ugh
Please change this back to pre-iOS 17. The new version is absolutely ridiculous. It feels like I've pushed a wrong button and it shifted me from a phone call to a FaceTime Call. Just senseless UI/UX.
I don't like the grey color.
Apple needs to change the color or allow owners to change the color.
I can not see with that gray cal screen. I don't like it I want my old color back or a color I can see. How can I change it. 😂😂😂
Don't like it. Can't see it. HELP
Newer isn’t always better.. just newer. Fix it pls
