One of the customization settings on iOS allows you to tint all of the icons/widgets on your home screen. Apps that don’t have the field specified for tinted just turn white on the Home Screen instead of showing any of the UI elements. You can see something similar happening to my Audible app, but the large white rectangle below is the Deezer widget when using the tinted setting.

Hi ​@alllllllison many thanks for this post. Indeed, I can replicate the same challenge on my side when I use this new feature.

I have just shared it with our iOS developers to understand if this is a bug or per design. 

When I get feedback from the team, I will let you know

Any updates on this? It’s been a while and I have the same problem still.

Hi ​@Djinseng are you on iOS 26?
I’ve tested on my side and the widget works fine even if it is tinted.

I have tested again in 4 modes and works perfectly fine. 
Do you also get a white rectangle only ​@GropplerZorn?
Have tried to remove it and add it again ​@Djinseng?
Thanks

@Jaime.Deezer I get a green rectangle because I am using the green tint. I've tried removing it and adding it again and I get the same thing. If I change the tint color, it's just a rectangle with the new tint color.

Same for me. Clear mode is white. Tinted mode is the tint you give it flat.
