I am wondering is there a way to change the status bar color on my app on iOS? I know this comes from the system, not directly from the app settings, but it looks ugly and I want to find a solution to make it pure black as it is on the nav bar.
No, my iPhone is set to Dark Mode too. I don’t know how Safari works, since on some app loads the status bar is white, while sometimes it’s dark grey. I expect the status bar to be hard coded from the app theme along with everything else. I am just trying to say that is mismatch your predefined themes.
It’s not directly related but for example, our corporate website at https://noesiscosmetics.com has always black status bar in Safari.
Very strange. I deleted the home screen icon, added it again and the status bar is still white. It’s iPhone 12 with iOS 15.1.1 and dark mode enabled.
Guys, sorry but I need to raise this issue again, since I can’t solve it for a month. Whatever I do, the status bar remains white, while everything else is set to dark/black.
I found some articles where it is explained how the developers can change a meta tag, which
I also tried to turn off the “Website tinting” feature in Settings like it’s explained in this article.
For now the only solutions seems to be the meta tag which have to be hard coded, no idea how.
EDIT: Actually I managed to turn it black for a while. After I turned on “Website tinting” setting in Settings → Safari and then “re-installed” the app, the status bar got black, but only on the first launch. After I completely closed and then re-opened the app, I found it white again.
Yes it is. I’ve also tried the suggestions in this thread. Sometimes my apps will open without the white bar after reinstalling but only the first time, then they go back to white again too.
