Grey background?

[rws]

I just upgraded my IPhone 6 to IOS 10. Now on my Lock screen and home screen I get these grey text blocks or maybe they are called bubbles. Not a big deal but I prefer the old style that was transparent on the lock screen and maybe black on Home screen. Can this be changed?

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Could you post a screenshot please?

Sorry, Could not get it to post. I will try later.

If you can send me an email I will attach a screenshot to that. I am not able to get an image to post.

To post a screenshot in Safari, select "Upload File":

Then select "Choose File":

Go to Photo Library:

Choose "Screenshots":

Select your screenshot with the bubbles:

It will start loading. When it has finished, you'll see a small picture of your screenshot. Choose "Full Image", then post your screenshot:

The screenshots are from an iPad. The way to post them is the same on the iPhone.
Sending them via pm is also the same.

Hope that helps.

Your screenshots have disappeared.

Your screenshots have disappeared.

I'm editing them, they'll reappear as soon as I've finished changing them.

Here is what I mean.

That is a notification. And, no, the theme/background cannot be changed. That is the translucency that apple is so fond of.

You can go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Transparency and turn it off, but that just looks worse.
