iOS status bar is near impossible to read in light mode (lemmy.world)

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

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?

Honestly during the day I personally find light mode easier to read. I understand this seems uncommon but the contrast “feels” better. I use the “True Tone” on iPhone though which makes the whites not so stark and blinding.

Same here, yeah. I also don’t enjoy seeing fingerprint smudges in broad daylight and light mode hides them better.
