Alternatively, some people simply prefer to use dark mode when it’s available because they like the way it looks.

In many cases you can switch an app to dark mode on your iPhone by using the device dark mode settings found at Settings > Display & Brightness. But this may not be ideal if you don’t like the device-wide dark mode.
