If you can't turn off Dark Mode on your iPhone, it might be because Night Shift or Automatic mode is enabled, setting Dark Mode to turn on and off at certain times. To fix this, go to Settings > Display & Brightness and select Light under the appearance options. Also, check Settings > Display & Brightness > Options (located under Appearance) to ensure that Automatic is turned off. If Dark Mode continues to persist, restarting your iPhone can often resolve unexpected settings issues.
