SOLVED: Why Did the Color of My Notification Bar and Navigation Bar Change?

[Father Tech]

This morning the color of my notification bar (that runs across the top of my phone's screen) and my navigation bar (that runs across the bottom of my phone's screen) turned bright red. They used to have no color, i.e., black. Why did this happen?

My phone is the Google Pixel.

SOLUTION: I had unwittingly set my phone to 'battery saver,' so the notification bar and the navigation bar turned bright red.

Thanks for the update. Do you know how you accidentally set it that way?

Hahahaha. I had done that once. I was like, "this POS!" Then I realized it was me.

Haha thank you so much for this post, I thought my phone was over heating or something. I could see the + symbol in the battery gage. Was freaked out to say the least! My goodness this post took away my anxieties lol. Thank you again!!
