It came back. :( going to have to factory reset. I've had other apps do similar things and it's just frustrating living with tech type thing.
80% of all my icons are now pink and the background is super bright white..

Edit:
Force stopped again, cleared data and uninstalled messages app which caused it to revert to a previous version. It probably uses some of the same code or store it's settings in some odd place but at least now my icons aren't pink and the bright has went back to normal

holy crap! that sounds aweful and i usually hear bad things about apps but not this one 😮

hugs

Wasn't the app. Google's update. It is what it is.
