AT&T S7 active updated and now my message text and bubble are white.

[Android Central Question]

There are some aesthetic changes to my theme, most annoying the white on white messaging bubble and text. I tried other themes but the colors still don't match the description.
This happened to anyone else? Any fix?

This is annoying as hell!! Who thinks white on white is a smart choice? Is like to be able to read what people are texting me

PLEASE tell me they're working on a fix for this! I can't see my incoming texts! I've had to read and reply to everything in my notifications bar all flippin day!! Not cool!!

I spent hours today working on this issue, making my brain mushy with frustration and my eyes blind from squinting to read white-on-white texts. When can we expect an update, Samsung?? This is ridiculous.

here here
I have tried everything as well. changing the contrast only helps so much. tried different fonts too , please help

what was the update anyway ?
only.changes I see is the message app and something with the device maintaince

This is EXTREMELY frustrating seeing that 99% of my communicating is through text. Anyone figure out a way to fix this? Or will there be another update soon? This is unacceptable to an extreme measure. Who ever even put this change in the update should be fired.

Have you tried any other texting apps? Textra is a good one that allows customisation of colours.

 

[Julie White2]

For real it has me so frustrated that I didn't even think about that! I've used textra before. THANKS!! Lololol

This is annoying to me too, the only fix I have found for the time being is using a theme that has black text or a darker text so it shows up in the white messaging bubbles. Hope this helps everyone for the time being.

You could also use something like chomp SMS as your default messaging app.

Settings>accessibility>vision>high contrast font...turn that on and u can at least read your messages can't change the colors or anything else tho

Not sure if anyone is still suffering from the upgrade with the text bubbles white on white....
If so, the fix is to change you Theme. For whatever reason when the upgrade completed it updated your current theme as well. So just pick a different theme and make sure before you apply that you look at description and see what text bubbles look like.

Your welcome!

Thanks Reck2020 - I went into my themes and tried to reapply the one I was using and found out there was an updated version, so I downloaded and applied that "version 2" and the messages bubbles are now legible. So I didn't have to totally change my theme to something else. I just updated it to the newer version and that worked.
