Hi maryann0301,

Re: "Icons are all black along with white letters in my text"
Seems you may have accidentally inverted the text colors to white on black ?
To check: Open the Settings app,
then tap "Accessibility"
then tap "Display & Text Size".
If either "Smart Invert" or "Classic Invert" is on .... turn that off.

To change the text size on your iPhone
First: Go to Settings 
Tap "Display & Brightness".
Then: Tap "Text Size".
Finally: Drag the slider left or right to change the text size.
If needed:
Useful Resource: iPhone User Guide - Apple Support (Click the "Table of Contents at the top to see contents")

Wondering if you tried turning off the "Smart Invert" or "Classic Invert" of the text colors, following the steps at the top of my previous reply.
If not tried yet, you might want to try that to see if it returns the text colors to normal.
Hello maryann0301!
There are various ways to reset your iPhone. To choose which one fits your intent, please go to: Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset. Now, choose the reset type you are looking for, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset.
Have a nice day, and good luck!
To reset your iPhone, you could first back up everything on your iPhone (eg: to a computer) so you have a copy of everything. Then, after resetting, you can restore everything again.
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THE TEXT SIZE, BUT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE MY TEXT SIZE, MY SCREEN BECAME BLACK WITH WHITE LETTERS. ACTUALLY ALL OF MY COLORS ARE MESSED UP, BUT THE WHITE LETTERS ON
BLACK SCREEN IS MY BIGGEST PROBLEM, DO YOU KNOW HOW I CAN FIX THAT?
THANK YOU,
MARY ANN
