iOS status bar is near impossible to read in light mode

Is this common or unique to me? White text on the light background is fairly illegible.

Sadly this is a known iOS PWA issue. Nothing wefwef can do about it. Hopefully it is (or will be) fixed in iOS 17.
- Got it. Thanks for the insight.
- Well then. Looks I'm sticking to memmy then. (iphone x doesn't support iOS 17)
Fix: put it in Dark Mode.
- I can’t without putting my entire phone in dark mode permanently, which I don’t really want to do.
  
  On the helpful side, that’s not true:
  
  Settings >> Appearance >> Uncheck “Use System Light/Dark Mode” >> Check Dark Mode.
  
  On the unhelpful side, I have never seen the appeal of light mode. Curious why people prefer it?
  
  You can activate dark mode onlly for wefwef in settings

  This is what it looks like after the update
  
  There is a setting Use System Light/Dark Mode, if you uncheck that, you can select which mode you want.
  
  Update to wefwef 15.1 they fixed it
  
  I had to remove the Shortcut from my phone and redo the shortcut via safari
I actually didn’t know it was visible at all. I glanced at it on occasion and could never make it out.
- Same here, I just assumed there was no status bar, as it is practically invisible. Now I can see it is there, just about. This is my pet peeve with wefwef - I appreciate it is actually an IOS problem. I hope Apple fix it soon, as I don’t like dark modes.
  
  I tried memmy, which does not have the status bar problem, but I still prefer wefwef. Memmy’s light mode is too faded for me - there is not enough contrast between fonts and the background.
...there's a light mode?
I have this too and I’ve seen others complain about it as well
I think this is a iOS bug rather than Wefwef. I think I saw someone link to a long-standing WebKit bug a while ago
I have the same issue
I’m using ios17 and not having this issue.
- Are you using light mode?
  
  My IPad mini 5th generation says it is up to date on 16.5.1. I see IOS 17 is out officially in September, but I don’t see my IPad on the compatibility list. Bummer.
  
  Set to system but works fine if I manually toggle the setting as well.
  
  That is a bummer.
- well, it just took 10 years for apple to fix
Same issue. Dark mode is fine though.

That's what you get for using light mode you PSYCOPATH

Jokes appart, I'm sure it will get worked out soon. May want to report it via official channels. I assume you're using MLEM, try reporting an issue in their official github here https://github.com/mlemgroup/mormaer-mlem
- That appears to be wefwef if I’m not mistaken. But still, your point of reporting it properly stands, obviously.
