Go to the top of the page, just under the original post. Under the right corner of the original post (and the top-ranked reply), you'll see "Sort by" and a drop-down menu. Select "Oldest."

Note that if you reply to a post after several other people have replied, their posts will be between the original and yours (assuming you have "Oldest" selected). That's why it's always a good idea to quote the post you're replying to.

You also can't delete your own posts.

Toggling transparency options has zero effect for me. Default is now black text against an odd (my opinion) lavender background. I would prefer plain white, but don't see anyway to get that to happen.

First: iSO 26.1 update has just made my contacts display WORSE and didn't help or inprove in any way. I HATE dark mode and do not/refuse to use it as much as possible. Seems I'm now being forced to do so at this point. I would love to go back to the update that was prior to any "26" and also get rid of Liquid glass completely. Can I do that?

Not joking, I've read all 6 pages (at this time) of possible fixes, tried it sees like all, and about 10 contacts are finally back to black text on white backgroud. YEA!! but not the other 650+ contacts. Those that now have a white background, no longer have the Contact name showing up under the icon, and some now have white letters on a gray background and I can't read them. What a pain! I have 7 different contact areas for 1 company (this is common for my work contacts) and now have to bring up each contact to find the right one. Not to mention, I no longer can quick find account numbers, rep's emails, phone number. I have spent about the last 2-3 hours trying the various suggestion & just have had a h*** of lot frustration and impolite language. Yes - sent feedback to Apple. Doubt it will do any good.

I have: Settings>Accessibility>General>Per-App Settings>App customization>Add App>Contacts.

Reduce Transparency OFF Increase Contrast OFF Differentiate Without Color ON Smart Invert OFF (again - no Dark mode for me) Everything else is default.

Do I need to change every individual contact? How & what setting options? Do if change from withing the App customization eary contact? White background/poster background doesn't seem to exist. Is there any way to go back a couple updates? Get rid of Liquid glass? I NEVER use dark mode and that setting is just as bad for me. Someone posted about opening up a contact, tapping edit but don't edit, then go to the live card. What does this mean? What's a live card? For me and my special needs son, this update is an absoulte nightmare. Sorry for the rant but this is just so frustrating. In my opinion, Apple really screwed up big time with the Liquid glass and thie current updates.

that horrid background color and white text in notes is awful, as discussed. The Contacts app does not appear in the per app list. Where can I change text color throughout apps to black? Simple, black. And the iPhone problem is the same.

However, now in Contacts, you cannot click on a homepage in an address entry and have the web page open up in a browser - you now have to copy from Contacts and then paste that into a browser, which is another backward step, in my opinion.

Me too.

I tried that, didn't work for me at all. Made no difference.

This issue with the notes text on contact cards is an example of it isn’t broken, then do not fix it.

also changing the background of the contact card to navy blue also helps.

Please fix the White text in notes. I use this every day and I can’t read it unless I’m indoors the lighting is not very bright.

how did you do that because it worked for you but hasn’t for me

that helped and it works now. Thank you.

Alexpm77 Thanks so much!! Your fix makes things work!!!! God Bless you and yours!!

This didn't change the way my Contacts look at all. Hmm.

Please fix soon
