All of a sudden my i-phone 11 emails and texts are dark

I know how to change it from light to dark in settings but that isn't working now.

Short summary:

  1. Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone 11.
  2. Tap on "Display & Brightness".
  3. Under "Appearance", select "Light".
  4. Check to see if the emails and texts have returned to their original color scheme.
  5. If the problem persists, restart your device by holding down the power button until the "slide to power off" option appears, then slide to power off. Wait a few seconds, then turn your device back on by pressing the power button until the Apple logo appears.
  6. Check to see if the emails and texts have returned to their original color scheme after restarting your device.

Hello, thank you for using Howly.
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

I have tried going into settings and changing the light/dark view. I have also looked at Focus, and removed scheduled hours of darkness/light

Did you try to restart your device?

Customer Replay

No. that's a good Idea. I always forget about that option when I have a problem!

Please, try it and let me know.

Customer Replay

Ok. I will let you know in a couple of minutes.
That seems to have solved the problem!!

Is everything okay?

Customer Replay

I believe everything is ok now. Thanks! I appreciate your help. I need to remember to restart my phone whenever I have a problem.
