Wondering whether Apple Support's article for iOS 27 (link below) can help:

See how to:

Customize apps and widgets on the iPhone Home Screen - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"You can change how app icons and widgets look on your Home Screen—adjust their size, apply a color tint, or switch between light and dark appearances."


"Customize the look of app icons

  1. Go to the Home Screen.
  2. Touch and hold the Home Screen background until the icons begin to jiggle.
  3. Tap , then choose Customize.
  4. Do any of the following:
    • Make the icons larger: Tap . In large size, the names of the apps disappear.
    • Choose a dark appearance: Tap Dark. To show icons and widgets with a dark appearance at night and a light appearance during the day, tap Auto.
    • Give the icons a clear look: Tap Clear to make the icons translucent, then choose Light, Dark, or Auto.
    • Add a color tint: Tap Tinted. Use the sliders to choose the color and saturation (or use the eyedropper to select a color in your wallpaper). Then choose Light, Dark, or Auto."

Else: If following Apple's suggestions above is not working for you:

You may want to send feedback to reach those who work on the software behind-the-scenes at Apple. (You could include a link to this discussion if you want.) 


Although they will likely not reply, your feedback will be carefully read and logged, and if others are also experiencing a similar issue, there may be an update that addresses it. (The more feedback received, the more likely it will be addressed.)
