So now Dark mode is enabled?  It’s in settings-app preferences-appearance.

This must have been part of 13:3:2  but I’m sue it wasn’t turned on then.  Seems to have been activated later, or maybe I’ve only just noticed, although no one else seems to have noticed either😳

I am running iOS/iPadOS 15.2 Beta, I wondered if that was the issue too but the iPhone came through in the end, the iPad is still not seeing it

 

Diagnostics - 1394386187 from the iPad not seeing the settings 

 

Will keep an eye on it

15.1 on the iOS devices in my house, still not seeing it.

I’m using iOS 15.1 too on all the devices here and the dark-mode feature has appeared on all - did you try signing out/in the App aswell as opening/closing it fully a couple of times?

Yes I posted in this thread previously the steps I have taken (and since try daily) which include signing/in out, reboot, open/close. 
 

I realize that it is available for many (most?) users, and I’m sure it will show up in my app eventually 👍🏾

Hey @Bumper and @BMF,

 

Could you try fully closing the Sonos app, toggling the dark/light mode settings inside iOS, then checking to see if the option shows up inside Sonos?

Thanks for the suggestion, will try this later on today and post back.

Hi James,

 

tried that and it did not make any difference. 
 

It eventually worked after I deleted the app, set the iPad to dark mode, downloaded the app and logged in.

 

S2 was then in Dark mode…. Settings were then available, I changed the system back to auto and S2 app is now behaving with following the system preference.

 

very odd

Interesting. Thanks for sharing what worked for you. I’ve shared this with our engineers for investigation. I’m glad you were able to get dark mode enabled in the end :slight_smile:

I tried the suggested with no change. But I did get it to work on my phone after I deleted and reinstalled the app again. I might have also forced closed it …. It’s a nice improvement to the app thank you.

Not sure if this is an overnight or by design….

 

but “software update” and “submit diagnostics” both revert from dark mode to “light mode” when accessed in dark mode.

 

there may be other screens, but these are the ones I have discovered.

Can I ask for clarity, please? For instance, I went to Settings>System>System Updates>Check for Updates, and it was still in dark mode, but I have the feeling I didn’t do the same thing as you, as the terms you’re using aren’t the same as mine. It’s only the popup that isn’t in “dark mode”, but the background stays in dark mode.

Similarly, when I go to Settings>Support>Submit Diagnostics, it’s also in “dark mode”, or at least the background is. The popup that appears is not.

Are you calling out just the popup, or a larger issue?
