iPhone 6+ Upon updating to iOS 11, the screen where you enter your password no longer has any contrast - everything is in shades of light gray. My wife's 6S looks normal after the update. I cannot find any Setting to change this.
I have a 5s. Same problem. I discovered that the transparency setting seems to relate to the background of the lock screen. If the lockscreen background is white, the passcode screen has less contrast EVEN IF transparency is off. I resolved the issue by taking a photo of a black blanket and using it as the lock screen wallpaper. Now the passcode screen is jet black with bright white numbers. By the way, the phone senses the black screen and displays the day and date as white.
Hi. Apple Support fixed this:
Settings > General > Accessibility > Increased Contrast: Slide Reduce Transparency OFF.
Fixed immediately.
I know how to change wallpaper.
Your suggestion had no effect on problem.
Nearest Genius Bar is over an hour away, so I was hoping to solve this at home.
And there is no Time Machine to back out of the iOS 11 update.
This worked great on my iPhone 6. Thanks for working it out and posting it. The bigger question is why the Passcode/Unlock screen is now so light in the first place. No one at Apple check this out before release ? Things like this that seem so simple but go awry and cost the user some time to overcome after a major update are why the competitor gets more business
having same issue, have tried all of the suggested solutions with no success
This solution worked for me on my iPhone 6s. Thanks!
