Changing curser/pointer to a different color!

I have a Iphone 12 pro max, the curser (meaning when need to move the blinking curser s ok you can change something) mine is since the last update or 2 and 99% I can't see the **** thing ok n the black page, it's just to dim! I've done several search's that come up with the same answer! It says go settings look in accessibility go down to pointer and change color speed etc etc BUT there is nothing in my settings that say anything about a pointer that I can change.. So my question is how the **** to I change it on this POS of a phone! I hate this phone. It cost me $1100 and thing only works on cloudy days with a bit of sun and raining 33.5% of the day and that's on a good day!!

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 17

The iPhone doesn't have a built-in setting to change the cursor color directly. However, there might be a workaround you can try:


  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Increase Contrast. Turn on "Reduce Transparency" and "Increase Contrast" to see if it helps the cursor stand out more against the background.
  2. In Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size, you can turn on "Bold Text" to make text more visible throughout the interface.
  3. Another option is to use the Zoom feature. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Zoom and enable it. Then, when you need to place the cursor, you can use three fingers to tap and hold the screen to drag the zoom window around and position the cursor more accurately.
