How to lighten background for all contacts in iOS 26.2 on iPhone 14?

How do I lighten ALL Contacts background using iOS 26.2 on iPhone 14? For us older folks that don’t see well, the darker background is very difficult to read. This needs to be changed so that we have the option to lighten the background on ALL contacts, NOT just individually.

hi.

Have you looked under Settings and then under Display & Text Size? There are options there to make the tax bold and to increase contrast. There’s a lot of setting in there relating to changing the appearance of tech size and color. Perhaps using some of those settings might help? Yes you are correct from what I can tell, there’s no way to adjust the contact cards all at once. That would be a nice feature though. Yes I can imagine having to modify every contact card just so that you can see it has to be very frustrating. I have problems with my vision as well and have to modify settings for me to see things better. Actually for me I find it easier to see things white on black versus black-and-white but if the font is bold enough and big enough, I can use white on black color scheme.
