Why does my phone go to dark mode all the **** time by itself!!

How do I stop the madness of my display going to dark mode by itself ALL THE TIME.


I restart it and it’s fine for a few minutes, but eventually always returns to dark mode. And the auto or timed settings are off. This is jacked up!

iPad, iPadOS 16

Hi Elk0109,


We'll be happy to help you out with this. If you have the automatic Dark Mode option disabled as you'd mentioned, then this shouldn't be happening at all. This article shows where to disable that. Use Dark Mode on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support


"Set Dark Mode to turn on automatically

  1. Go to Settings, then tap Display & Brightness.
  2. Select Automatic.
  3. Tap Options to set a schedule for Dark Mode.

"

If that's not enabled, you'll need to reach out to Apple to look into this with you further: Get Support.


Cheers.
