My WhatsApp icon turned from green to black, just got iPhone 16, same as on 12. No option in app to change colour and my phone is not on dark mode. Ideas?

Is it possible that you just finished activating the new phone? Are other apps still downloading from your restore of the new device from the old one? That would make the app appeared like greyed out while it is still downloading. Can you provide a screenshot of your phone showing your apps and the page that WhatsApp is on?

I was able to sort it, I held the icon down and it switched back. Thanks to all.
I have no idea why this happens, but a reboot, or hard reboot, restores all back to normal (if only for a while).
Check WhatsApp theme setting…
Well, it isn't what I thought. I do not use WhatsApp, so maybe someone that does here could respond. Otherwise, I would suggest that you contact WhatsApp support and ask them about it, since it is not an Apple app.
Good thought thanks, unfortunately it was doing same on the 12 and I’m fully updated now on 16. When WhatsApp reactivated on 16 at first it returned to green, now black. I’d thought it was storage issue on old as I was @ ‘full’.
Ok will do, thanks for trying!
You're welcome.
Why did my WhatsApp icon turn black on my iPhone 16?
