Status bar not visible due to white wallpaper

[Artexpol]

My wallpaper is white on top of my S9 and I cant see the status bar at all. On my Samsung galaxy s7 the font adjusted automatically from white to black depending on the color of the background. Samsung galaxy s9 does not do that. It is so frustrating!! And i dont want to change the wallpaper or theme. Other Galaxies did not have that issue the bar adjusted font color automatically. I havent used any apps like Nova and don't want to, since I didnt on my other phones. Thanks for your help.

Did you rule out potential configuration issues?

Are you using the default theme?
My S9+ changes the font color to black automatically when I'm using a white wallpaper.

SOLVED - I had the same problem after using "smart Switch" to copy my contents from old phone - spent a day trying to fix it - then changed to a darker wallpaper - saved it - then changed it back - voila - all sorted now

How did you adjust the theme to default? The only theme in my 'wallpapers and themes' section is 'default' and it's already ticked... still won't adjust to my light picture the status bar goes black font on the lock screen but once I unlock it, it turns white and I can't see the battery etc... any help would be greatly appreciated

Download a different theme, apply it, then apply the default theme.
