Black status bar after closing App?

HI guys, I've been using my new iphone 6 plus 64G running with the latest version IOS for a while and recently I notice an issue. Sometimes when I double tab the home button to close apps and go back to the home screen, the status bar goes black (For both the text and background on the bar; according to wallpaper color contrast setting, the bar is supposed to display a white text). Then if I lock my phone and unlock it again, the bar turns to normal color. I wonder if anyone has experienced this issue? Is this a software or hardware issue? Thank you!

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1, Apple Pay

I used to have this issue as well. The last time this happened was months ago. Today i found similar topics from users and what seems to help is force restart the device.

"Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears."

This is definitely a software issue. It looks like the system forgets to change the color of status bar and its text to white (or any other color).
Try to change the wallpaper you are using with another one that has different color scheme (red, blue, white, etc). If the problem remains, restart your iPhone and try to double tap, close app and go back to the home screen.

If this doesn't help, than Apple may resolve this problem in a new iOS update. Or someone else could give another solution.
