Dupe of feature request https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/6918

My totally uneducated guess is that this is a problem of the OS or browser, not the specific PWA, but I might be wrong

Yeah, I've been getting the same problem in other PWAs.

iOS 26.2 broke this. I don't know what exactly in the upgrade did it and have not had the time to investigate. But fixing it would definitely be nice.

It is a little bit better because the colors are similar, but the header still doesn't extend into the Status Bar like it did previously. We've lost that uniform look.
