Dimmed time on iPhone screen

Why did the time on my iPhone dinner after I had the message “iPhone unavailable. Try again in 1 min (then 5 min)”. When my phone was ready to use, my time is dimmed, not the whole screen, just the time. So much so that it’s hard to see.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Hi krisepm,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


We'll be happy to see how we can help with your iPhone and displaying of the time.


Do you use Night Shift? If you are unsure you can use the link below to see the settings and how to adjust them.


Try and Restart your iPhone following the steps found in the link.


Does this continue if you test using a different wallpaper?


Reach back out if you still need help.



Take care!
