How did you do that with the status bar? Yes, I see the difference. Also, I'm using 10.2. That's when the darkening disappeared, when I updated to 10.2.

It's part of the wallpaper. I've been told that on the new beta 10.2.1 beta 2, the darkening is gone. We'll see.

Well it's gone for me on the public release of 10.2. I hope it stays gone.

We were not comparing apples to apples. I was upset at the darkening that was occurring from the lock screen to the home screen. You can see from the change wallpaper screen that this is no longer happening. The other two pictures show the original wallpaper and the lock screen, which does have a slight darkening on this wallpaper. However, on the white wallpapers I use, there is no darkening across the board (original, lock screen, home screen).

I haven't figured it all out. There has to be a rhyme or reason how it works. Solid white sometimes does great. Then a different color of a certain shade will not. A lighter color that has to use white text will be darkened. I hope they're right about no darkening in the newest beta.

This is the craziest thing ever. I have never noticed or heard of this, yet the examples are indisputable. Thanks guys, now I'm going to be hyper-aware of it lol. PS- I'm running 10.2.1 public beta.
