Smart Invert stuck

My iPhone 14 seems to have Smart Invert “stuck”. No matter how I turn it off and then restart the phone, all non-picture backgrounds remain black and text white.

Hello Tatyanaconstantino,


Thanks for your post to Apple Support Communities. We understand you aren't able to restore your iPhone from Smart Invert it seems. Let's check a few other settings.


  1. Go to Settings > Display & Brightness
    1. Confirm if you have your Appearance set for Dark
    2. If so, change it to Light to see if that changes what you're viewing
  2. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size
    1. Confirm you've disabled Smart Invert here
    2. Scroll down and confirm you've also disabled Classic Invert here
  3. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap
    1. Confirm both Double Tap and Triple Tap are set to something other than Smart Invert


If you've checked all those settings, and restarted your iPhone, and the issue is still present, we'd recommend reaching out to our dedicated support team. You can reach them here: Apple Support


You can also find our phone number for your region at this link: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


Take care.
