Why all apps now are displayed as dark mode

I’ve been with my iPhone 12mini until today when I’ve switched to the iPhone 16pro.


until today, I had all set up with dark mode on but all my apps were displayed as regular mode.

today, everything is displayed as dark mode making difficult the recognition of many apps.


IRRITATING and very, very ANNOYING.


Why can’t we chose what to have on dark mode and what not?

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17

Go to the homepage then hold down, after holding, go to the top right and you will see “edit” click customize at the bottom there should be a thing that says “dark” “tinted “ “dynamic” or “light”

There is no difference between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 16 as far as Dark Mode is concerned. Any of those apps will be the same depending on if you have Dark Mode turned on or off. If your setting got changed somehow, it is easy to change it back by following the steps that have been provided.


Third party apps can choose whether they want to honor the Dark mode setting and some choose not to. For those apps, you would need to contact the developer. They can choose to use whatever color scheme they want.


If you have a question about a particular app, then let us know what it is and we may be able to provide more detail or at least direct you to that developer for support.
