Dark mode is stuck on

My iPhone 6s is stuck in dark mode after downloading and updating to 13.0

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

My wife had this exact issue. She could not deselect dark mode, and it was behaving differently than it did on my IPhone 7.


She found that for her under Accessibility, Display & Test Size, Smart Invert was turned on for some reason.


Turned it off.


Problem Solved. Dark mode now looks like it does on my 7 and she can turn it off and on.

:-) don‘t ask, I thought I could use this feature as a dark mode replacement years ago (but it’s useless) And today I remembered the shortcut... I had used it by accident and stuck in a defect dark mode the whole day. It is super stupid that you cannot switch back to the light mode when the invert is on...

Same for me. Exact same....all of a sudden this morning the phone is in dark mode. However, triple clicking the right side button did nothing for me except pull up the emergency SOS screen. Yikes. I haven't seen anything here yet hat has helped. I do NOT have "automatic" selected for dark mode. In display settings, I am not even ABLE to click on "Light Mode". In my Accessibility settings, I *did* see there was some weird option checked about the "triple click".......but this was for the *homescreen* button, not the right side button. Ugh! Help! Smiley face emoji's look like jet black orbs with glowing neon eyes.
