My guess is that it is a camera setting, check if its in auto or manual. Switch to auto to see if that fixes the problem.
Make sure you don't have auto screen brightness set on your phone because as soon as the phone sees bright light it will turn down screen brightness
The camera is in auto exposure mode, so a bright sky will cause the exposure to reduce and give you a dark screen. As @Koala Tails says, switch to manual exposure and adjust it in-flight to suit. I tend to angle the camera down a bit to offset some of the sky to reduce that problem but it's not always convenient.
Sometimes happens if you are wearing polarized sunglasses. Turn your phone one way and the screen looks fine, rotate it 90 degrees and it looks black.

Just another thing you can do, and that is to adjust the gimbal in the settings to permanently lower it a bit from the horizontal, so that the camera does not see as much sky. I do this anyway as I don't use FPV that often as I like to keep the a/c in view so can avoid danger without continually looking at the screen.
