Sadly this is a known iOS PWA issue. Nothing wefwef can do about it. Hopefully it is (or will be) fixed in iOS 17.

I can’t without putting my entire phone in dark mode permanently, which I don’t really want to do.

On the helpful side, that’s not true:

Settings >> Appearance >> Uncheck “Use System Light/Dark Mode” >> Check Dark Mode.

On the unhelpful side, I have never seen the appeal of light mode. Curious why people prefer it?

Honestly during the day I personally find light mode easier to read. I understand this seems uncommon but the contrast “feels” better. I use the “True Tone” on iPhone though which makes the whites not so stark and blinding.

Same here, yeah. I also don’t enjoy seeing fingerprint smudges in broad daylight and light mode hides them better.

There is a setting Use System Light/Dark Mode, if you uncheck that, you can select which mode you want.

Update to wefwef 15.1 they fixed it

I had to remove the Shortcut from my phone and redo the shortcut via safari

I actually didn’t know it was visible at all. I glanced at it on occasion and could never make it out.

Same here, I just assumed there was no status bar, as it is practically invisible. Now I can see it is there, just about. This is my pet peeve with wefwef - I appreciate it is actually an IOS problem. I hope Apple fix it soon, as I don’t like dark modes.

I tried memmy, which does not have the status bar problem, but I still prefer wefwef. Memmy’s light mode is too faded for me - there is not enough contrast between fonts and the background.

I think this is a iOS bug rather than Wefwef. I think I saw someone link to a long-standing WebKit bug a while ago

Are you using light mode?

My IPad mini 5th generation says it is up to date on 16.5.1. I see IOS 17 is out officially in September, but I don’t see my IPad on the compatibility list. Bummer.

Set to system but works fine if I manually toggle the setting as well.

That is a bummer.

That appears to be wefwef if I’m not mistaken. But still, your point of reporting it properly stands, obviously.
