If your Safari screen is in black instead of white, it's likely because Dark Mode or Smart Invert is enabled on your device. To switch it back, go to Settings > Display & Brightness and select Light under the appearance options. If that doesn't work, check if Smart Invert, found in Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size, is on; if so, toggle it off. This adjustment should help revert the screen to its original white background.
