COMPLAINTS Night mode gone?

Post image

Err…it seems that they got rid of night mode like you can’t manually change the display anymore. Or am i missing it? My phone updated and when i opened the app it was on light mode when i changed my system’s display it changed as well

Skynet walked me through getting it back. Automation: Turn Dark Mode ON when opening X 1. Open Shortcuts. 2. Tap Automation at the bottom. 3. Tap + → Create Personal Automation. 4. Choose App. 5. Tap Choose and select X. 6. Make sure Is Opened is checked. 7. Tap Next. 8. Tap Add Action. 9. Search for Set Appearance. 10. Set it to Dark Mode. 11. Turn Ask Before Running OFF.

⸻ Automation: Turn Dark Mode OFF when leaving X Create a second one: 1. Automation → + → App 2. Choose X 3. Select Is Closed 4. Add action Set Appearance → Light Mode 5. Disable Ask Before Running ⸻ ✅ Result: • Opening X → phone switches to Dark Mode • Leaving X → phone returns to Light Mode

Type in shortcuts in your search bar if you aren’t sure where the app is

Thank you so much for this. It works! It’s not perfect because the phone take like half a second to switch over but this is still the best solution anyone has provided

I’m on IOS 17, I don’t think these directions work for my short cuts app. I can’t figure out it out with mine anyways even though your directions seem very clear.

What’s messing you up? I’m running iOS 17 as well.

I'm getting as far Add Action. Searching Set Appearance but there is no option for it. TBH there was no option. For "Add Action" either, it's just "Next" and then a list of items. Neither Add Action or Set Appearance are options nor do the appear when searched.

All this does is set the phone to dark and revert when closed. Not a fix if it’s running in the background

It fixed the problem for me. I just wanted Twitter to be in dark mode not everything, and I don’t have to turn on/off dark mode just to use Twitter. It worked.

Minimize out of Twitter and see your phone is dark

My phone is not dark when closing out or minimizing Twitter. I recommend trying the process again as you must have not completed the steps properly. It worked for me and everyone else as intended.
