Screen recordings are saved in reverse colors

My screen recordings are saved in reversed colors when my phone is not set to it.


for example, Classic Invert is selected, so I see the normal colors. When I select to do a screen recordings, the video is saved in reverse color (looks like a negative image). Any idea what is going on?


I recently updated to 16.1. Unknown when this issue started but I believe it was sometime after the iOS upgrade.

Has anyone resolved this?? Since 16.1.1, my screenshot videos are all saved in negative. Changing the 2 color invert controls in Accessibility does NOT solve this ! Help! If I undo Classic Invert, EVERYTHING becomes negative.

It would be better if you can please re-post with a screenshot, in order to understand the phenomenon better. Images/pictures speak louder than words.

Well. I’ve been battling reversed colours since iOS 16 upgrade to. (12 pro max) Very annoying. Both classic and smart invert are disabled. But I can’t even start to describe how random this is. Finally fixed it tonight after a lot of digging.


head off to another one of apples famous hidden duplicate settings:


settings/accessibility/

per-app settings/Home Screen/ smart invert.


Disabled that and my life is back to normal.

I’ve never even been in there before so the 16 upgrade must have enabled it.


good luck !
