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)

I can’t without putting my entire phone in dark mode permanently, which I don’t really want to do.

[–] Darc 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] baggyspandex 5 points 1 year ago

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

You can activate dark mode onlly for wefwef in settings

This is what it looks like after the update

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Tatters 3 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] EyesEyesBaby 6 points 1 year ago

I have this too and I’ve seen others complain about it as well

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I have the same issue

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’m using ios17 and not having this issue.

[–] Tatters 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Set to system but works fine if I manually toggle the setting as well.

That is a bummer.

[–] nitefox 1 points 1 year ago

well, it just took 10 years for apple to fix

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same issue. Dark mode is fine though.
