Dark mode turned on and I cannot turn it off

Dark mode turned on and I cannot turn it off. When I go to Display and brightness, it shows it is on Light but it is not.

Dark mode goes off when I reset but then comes back about 10 minutes later.


Please help.

It could also sound like you have a Focus profile activated. Some Focus profiles activate Dark Mode when active.


If you have Do Not Disturb or another Focus profile activated, try disabling it. You can do this in the Control Center. Pull the Control Center down from the top right corner. Find the Focus Button, just below Screen Rotate Lock and Screen Mirror, tap and deactivate the active Focus Profile.


If a Focus profile activates automatically, then a Schedule is active.


To disable or delete this schedule, go to:

Settings Focus Select Profile → find SET A SCHEDULE → Tap into the time → tap deactivate or Delete Schedule
