Random switching to Dark mode display

Sometimes while using Safari my screen randomly switches to dark mode and I cant switch back to light mode unless I power off and back on. Is this a known bug with iOS 16.1?

Darm Mode and Safari:

I've seen it reported a few times on these forums in the last few days. So, this is definitely Apple should be informed about, from your end.

Q1. "I have filed a report with Apple."

A1. 👍 Thanks for doing your part. It will help many for certain.


Q2. "It’s becoming more apparent that “dark mode” randomly switches when using apps other than Safari. Amazon, Facebook and apps that want me to pick and choose like those verification boxes to prove you’re not a bot. It seems to be spreading. I wish there was a way to disable modes altogether."

A2. Be sure you mention those words in your feedback's Comments pane when to submitting it,
