Same here, I just assumed there was no status bar, as it is practically invisible. Now I can see it is there, just about. This is my pet peeve with wefwef - I appreciate it is actually an IOS problem. I hope Apple fix it soon, as I don’t like dark modes.
I tried memmy, which does not have the status bar problem, but I still prefer wefwef. Memmy’s light mode is too faded for me - there is not enough contrast between fonts and the background.
My IPad mini 5th generation says it is up to date on 16.5.1. I see IOS 17 is out officially in September, but I don’t see my IPad on the compatibility list. Bummer.
That's what you get for using light mode you PSYCOPATH
Jokes appart, I'm sure it will get worked out soon. May want to report it via official channels. I assume you're using MLEM, try reporting an issue in their official github here https://github.com/mlemgroup/mormaer-mlem
