I have my phone switch to dark mode after sundown. When not in dark mode, notes have a scrollbar that can be selected to more quickly move about a note.
However, when dark mode is active, the scroll bar is no longer visibile. This makes working with longer notes more cumbersome.

Hi jthunes,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with using Notes in Dark Mode. We'd like to help.
When your iPhone switches to Dark Mode, have you tried to manually move the note even though you can't see the scroll bar? If you place your finger on the right side of your display, does it still move when you drag your finder up and down? We ask because this is a feature that should be available in both modes.
If you tried that and it's still not working, closing the app, restarting the iPhone, and trying again can help.
How to close an app:
iPhone X and later
How to restart your iPhone X, 11, 12, 13, or later
Let us know how that goes.
Cheers!
Colleen,
Yes, scolling within the note still works in either mode. The issue is that the scroll bar (which is displayed while scrolling in light mode) is not seen when the notes app is in dark mode. When in light mode, I can select the scroll bar and more easily scroll through the note.
I have tried restarting the phone and the notes app.
Hello jthunes,
We appreciate the additional information. At this point, we suggest that you reach out to Apple Support for further assistance.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
