# iOS 26: large title invisible until you scroll

> Setting headerStyle.backgroundColor with a large title hides the title on iOS 26 (noted in the native-stack source itself).

React Native. Confirmed fix, 8 October 2026.

Versions: expo-router native-stack, iOS 26

There is no error message for this one, only the symptom in the title.

## Cause

Setting `headerStyle.backgroundColor` with a large title hides the title on iOS 26 (noted in the native-stack source itself).

## Fix

Do not set headerStyle.backgroundColor on iOS. Set the navigation theme's `colors.card` and `colors.background` to the page background instead, make the ScrollView the first child with `contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic"`, and use `headerTransparent: true` alone for transparent headers.
