ios 15.0.2 update turned dark mode on permanently

Despite the Appearance set to Light in Settings/Displays & Brightness manually for 24 hours a day since the iOS 15.0.2 update every single app runs only as the Dark mode being set on permanently.


Has anyone else come across this and any idea how to make the Light mode work again?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

Double check one other place in Settings to ensure that Smart Invert is not set to ON.

Open Settings ➔ Accessibility ➔ Display & Text Size: Ensure that every Switch on this page is set to OFF except Auto-Brightness.
