I have a white iPhone 8 with iOS 16.4.1 and want to change my startup screen from white to black background. I saw a discussion on Stack Exchange from May 2019 that mentioned that Apple had implemented a change to make this possible, but cannot find anything else online about this. Can anyone help me with this? TIA!

What do you mean by Startup Screen? Do you mean the Lock Screen? If that's what you mean, you can easily change your wallpaper to a dark or all black wallpaper. See how to change the wallpaper here --> Change your iPhone wallpaper - Apple Support

I did a little research and found this thread, which may help you --> Changing iPad Black Apple on White backgr… - Apple Community

While it is about iPad, it would apply to iPhone as well.

Downgrade iPadOS 26 to 7 NOT 18
I want to downgrade my iPadOS 26 and I want to install again iPadOS 7 NOT iPadOS 18 without losing my any data without computer. Is there any option?

This has NOTHING to do with the subject of this thread. But you CANNOT downgrade iPadOS. Downgrading has NEVER been supported. It doesn't matter what version you want to downgrade to. You can downgrade at all.
