IOS 17 call screen UGLY

[anitak1982]

I'm not the only one, it is being discussed on Reddit and other places. The call screen is gray and horrible looking. I also hate that you physically have to create a contact photo for your contacts as it does not update as it is supposed too. Anyone else?

I think I posted right after you, but kind of the same thing. What I dont understand is, if my contact doesn't set a poster, and I dont set a poster for them, but I have a contact photo for them...why doesn't it default to using the contact photo, like it did previously? why grey screen when there is a contact photo available?

Hopefully it's a bug. It has to be because I can't imagine it being intentional. It makes no sense.

Is it possible to change grey Call screen and Contact screen in iOS 17? All Contacts, not customizing individual contacts poster image.

I’ve noticed the same thing. It looks really out of place and bad.

Original iOS 1 had the most attractive and functional call screen

It really does stick out in a very unappealing way and makes me wish I stuck with iOS 16 instead.

iOS 17.4 solves this problem. Thebackground of the call screen is a darkened and blurred version of your wallpaper.

Definitely much better than what it was prior. Just did a test call and noticed it’s a blurred version of your Home Screen wallpaper. A step in the right direction at least.

Unfortunately they also let the contact photo take up the whole screen and the UI elements don’t always contrast with the photo colors very well. Why not leave the contact photo in a circle with the dithered wallpaper backdrop? Sometimes simplicity is best.
