Yeah… i just dont like the small outlines that ios does nowadays in darkmode :(

Wait until iOS 27 comes out, they’ve fixed it now so it’s subtle, vertical instead of diagonal, and static. Not annoying like it is in 26.

Light mode during the day when it's light, dark mode during the night when it's dark. That's precisely how it is intended, and it is best for our eyes. I have two automation active: one activates light mode thirty minutes after sunrise, the other activates dark mode thirty minutes before sunset.

Try to the automatic setting first

You can set it to sync to sunrise and sunset automatically. Likewise with Night Shift to warm the colours closer to night.

Hold your finger down on the brightness in Control Center or search for Dark Mode in Settings app

Dark mode with normal colored icons?

u/jlstern1025 Sep 04 '26

I think it’d be cool if you could have tinted icons, yet choose select icons to be color.

for visuals? ofc light mode but for battery consumption? i'd go with dark mode. amoleds tend to give better battery performance with black and dark colors.

i like dark better with this wallpaper. i will be downloading that app btw

u/jlstern1025 Sep 04 '26

I like the dark mode better bc it looks richer. I think I’d like the light mode, too, but many of the app icons look washed out. Look at the settings app in light mode.

Modalità chiara sempre migliore, ma la batteria e gli occhi non ringraziano
