Information colour at top of iPhone lock screen

Right now, the colour of all the little icons at the top of my lock screen on my iPhone are in white. But, the photo that I have on the lock screen is almost white at the top. So, I would like to change all those little icons to black. But I cannot find out how. Is it possible to do this? (I know that I am able to change the time and date to black, but that’s not what I want to do.)

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Hey young at heart,


The icon color would be dependent on the wallpaper, and would typically change to a darker outline when on a light background. You may need to change your background to another option to resolve that.


We'd also suggest checking out this article for your options on customizing the lock screen: Create a custom iPhone Lock Screen - Apple Support


Thanks!

GUYS! I came here obvi for this questions and was disappointed to find there’s no way to change them. HOWEVER I had an idea and IT WORKS! I went to the photo and edited it. I added one thin strip (with the highlighter and a color that coordinated with my date/time) at the top. It looks like a banner at the very top, thin but just enough to be behind where the time and battery icons are
