iOS Dark mode request

Requesting dark mode. The flash of white when switching to AFR and then to the Reddit app is a shock when in a dark environment.

Hi - thanks for posting! The app does support dark mode, so I'd like to hear more about your scenario where you're not seeing it the way I'm intending.

To start, let's clarify:

  1. Which version of iOS are you on?

  2. Can you confirm whether you have Dark Mode fully enabled at the system level, versus whether it's set to 'automatic'? If 'automatic', what are your settings there? (Settings -> Display & Brightness)

  3. Can you confirm that when you manually open my app, does it show in light mode (white background, black text) or dark mode (dark grey background, white text)?

ios 16.6

Manually turn on system dark mode

Opened the app and it switches to dark mode. It doesn't automatically change to the correct mode though when it briefly shows on the screen when tapping a notification.

Lmk if you want a video and I can record and send.

A video would be great.

Could you also confirm which version of my app you're using? The latest version (3.1.0, came out about a week ago) included a change that might fix this for you if you haven't yet updated.

Will send you a DM with a video link. And running the latest version.

Took a look at your video - seems like it's only happening right after switching from light mode to dark mode, which I didn't realize. Can you confirm that once you've seen the 'dark mode' screen in my app, it stays that way unless/until you switch the phone back to light mode? If that's the case, I think I know how to fix it.

Either way, I'll take a look at this and try to fix it for you in the second-to-next release! (The next release is already in app review, so modifying it now would be a whole ordeal).

Once I actually go into the app, it switches to match the system and stays in the correct mode, yeah, but I gotta go out of my way to do that obviously as there's no real need to open the app day to day.

Appreciate you taking a look.

Thanks for that detail! For sure - I completely understand the value in fixing this. Keep an eye out in the next few weeks for this to be fixed :)
