I encounter the same problem. After a few days of research i found the following with which i was able to give the Navigationbar in the limited PHPicker my desired background color. But it didn´t fully work, because i have to click the Searchbar so that it accepts the color of the Navigationbar. In addition, the whole Navigationbar is still transparent even though i´ve set appearance.configureWithDefaultBackground(), which in my understanding is neither transparent nor translucent. When trying to set any color for the UIButton´s it won´t work as well. I found it here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69796381/incorrect-navigation-bar-colour-in-limited-library-picker-on-ios-15 Some help here is really appreciated and for sake of completion i also used the methods of this thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/682420
