Samsung Widgets stuck on Dark Mode

[BrentlyAdam]

I was wondering if anyone else was having issues with Dark Mode. Primarily it's only affecting my Samsung Branded Widgets. For some reason, when my phone returns to light mode based on the schedule or otherwise, the Samsung Widgets I have on my home screen stay stuck in Dark mode unless I manually adjust them via their settings. 

Has anyone else had this issue? Any remedies to fix it?

Tap & hold any Samsung widget, then tap the settings gear icon. In the "Widget settings" (only for the specified widget), in the "Background color" section, there's options for Light or Dark selection, and the option to always match with dark mode (which you can toggle it with the switch). I hope this helps

Hi Faith,
I've tried all that. It's almost like it's just ignoring my settings. I have to basically toggle the setting, save it, then toggle it back and save it again for it to revert to Light mode but then once it changes to dark mode it won't change back to light mode and then I start all over again lol

Update: I restarted my phone twice and it fixed it. I guess I'll see if the issue is still present when I wake up in the morning. Thanks for the input!

Really? That'd great, so far so good! Hopefully that'll be the end of that pesky situation for you 🙂
Maybe also back your phone up as well since things are ok right now, just in case. Chances are, if the widget mode issue returns, and you contact customer support, one of the things they'll most likely eventually suggest is to reset something (&/or everything), which would be an even bigger pain if it ends up not solving anything 😂
