Since updating to 15 I’ve had issues with this kind of text display. This, for instance, is in Messages. Messages itself is set to follow the system theme, and the system theme is set to dark mode. If I set it to light mode the text displays as expected. Trying to manually set the theme in Messages doesn’t fix it. Nothing special going on with the phone itself - it’s a Pixel 6 Pro just running regular Android. Thought I’d post in case anyone has seen something similar.

      I don’t see a force dark mode option in dev settings? I am also plagued by this bug.

          Shockingly, I’m very surprised a trillion dollar company could miss such an obvious bug. /s

    Seems like the bug where random things become light mode, on Android 15. I think you can toggle off and on dark mode and it’ll be fixed, or change your colour theme to something else and back.

    This often happens on Firefox when the system changes from day to night (light to dark) UI modes whilst the app is open (or open in the background). The app looks like it hasn’t been finished all of a sudden and menus are hard to read.

    Force closing and restarting the app seems to kick it back into life. Ultimately it needs better handling from the app to properly listen to the change in system behaviour.

    Similar issue with contacts who don’t have a picture associated with their info card/page/profile. Stock Android (GOS in my case) sometimes displays the contact’s first & last name initials in a circle (i.e. on the favorites page the phone app) in a color that is nearly identical to the circle’s background color.

      Dang - please report back if you figure it out! I was thinking of doing a complete system reset but hadn’t gotten to it yet.

        I haven’t figured out how to fix it, yet. But I really don’t want to do a full reset for that. I hope it gets addressed in the next patch.
