"To turn Dark Mode on and off in Control Center:

1. Go to Settings, then tap Control Center.

Tap the Add button next to Dark Mode to add it to Control Center." Use Dark Mode on your iPhone and iPad

If we have an incorrect understanding of the issue, consider offering more details to help the community guide you to a resolution.

• What exactly is happening vs what you expect to happen?
• Which iPadOS version are you using?
• Are other apps affected?

We hope this helps!

Sincerely.
