@mom7667yafy I’m sorry, I don’t exactly understand what you’re asking. What status bar are you talking about? ---

The status bar should look like the bottom shot I attached. It means that it looks like the picture attached at the top. So I don’t see information like time or amount of battery. Only white is visible in the status bar. I didn’t do anything, and suddenly I don’t know why. ---

Check this setting. Go to the screen designer. Click on the screen in the component tree so it is highlighted. Then check this setting. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/1/f14267b842dbb87edbae0e64cc0081d3ad59f467.jpeg) ---

Hi, @mom7667yafy! 👋 If your problem isn’t solved, make sure these are **blank** - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/3/e3fccb039e21921005073bcea3ec357e21a6c1b2.png) The `padding` area in your `screen`'s simple properties. Thanks! 😊 ---

I’m not sure what you said and the status bar Anyway, it is as you said. Still not solved. Oddly, this happens only in ios. Android does not have this phenomenon. ---

I figured out why. This happens when the iPhone is in dark mode. ---
