My iPhone 13 on iOS 16.2 keeps reverting to dark mode even though I have it turned to light and the automatic setting is off. I have tried hard reset and that does not work either. Is there anything else I can do besides reset all settings?

Hello boss_lady_b,
While the 'reset all settings' option may help, that does reset quite a lot more besides just the brightness settings.
Have you tried restarting your iPhone? Is that what you mean by 'hard reset'? If not, please try that now:
“1. Press and hold either volume button and the side button until the power-off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the side button (on the right side of your iPhone) until you see the Apple logo."
In addition, updating to the most recent iOS version may help:
“1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now."
We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
