Dark mode glitch using Google in Safari on iPhone

I’m using iPhone SE3, on iOS 16.1.2 update. I have settings so it’s in Light Mode 7AM-11PM; Dark Mode at night. Color filter is definitely OFF.

I rarely use my screen at night. Only if I really can’t sleep or am up late doing something urgent where I need to look up info.

I discovered that since the update to iOS 16, if I Safari> Search> Google (not signed into Google App or account) while in Dark Mode, the setting for Google in its own interface menu goes to Dark Mode, but it STICKS there when my phone goes back to Light Mode. I have to manually change it back on the Google page.

Is this a known issue?

Hey BlueKatKLJ,

We'd be happy to help out. To get started, if Dark Mode isn't behaving as expected, you'll want to get your iPhone SE (3rd Gen) fully updated to the latest version of iOS, which is iOS 16.2, and then test things out further. For more help updating:

Update your iPhone or iPad wirelessly

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. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.

All this is outlined further here: Update your iPhone or iPad

If you continue to have issues though, since this is specific to the Google website in your Safari browser, you'd likely be best supported by reaching out to Google's support team since it's their website that's not behaving as expected for you.
