Problem with status bar disappearing

I have an iPhone 16, and whenever I have my iPhone in dark mode and go to certain websites on safari the status bar with the time and WiFi and all that will disappear. Is anyone else having this problem?

If the status bar on your iPhone 16 is disappearing, try a force restart by quickly pressing and releasing the volume up button, then quickly pressing and releasing the volume down button, and then holding the power button until the Apple logo appears. 


Here's a more detailed breakdown: 

  • Force Restart:
    • Press and quickly release the volume up button.
    • Press and quickly release the volume down button.
    • Press and hold the power button until the Apple logo appears.
  • Other Potential Issues:
    • Software Glitch: A temporary software glitch could be causing the issue.
    • App Conflict: A specific app might be interfering with the status bar display.
    • Incorrect Settings: Check your iPhone's settings for any options that might be hiding the status bar.

I have tried a force restart along with updating my phone but nothing has been working. Nothing I have found in my settings has been causing the issue. Is this normal or just my phone. Is also tried doing a factory reset but when I went to do a backup to save my data it kept saying it couldnt be completed, event though I have used very little storage space
