iPhone "Dark" mode.

Guys and Girls,


My recent problem is that since I've upgraded my iPhone 11 to iOS 16.3 I can't get it out of "Dark" mode. I reboot and it's ok until I enter my first app and then it goes dark again.


Any ideas?

Axel,


Ok, I followed the instructions twice and waited more than 2 minutes each time. I never got the Apple logo but the problem is solved and I'm out of the dark mode. What ever you suggested seemed to work.


Thank you very much for your help.


Phil

 Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
