Disable dark mode on specific screens in iOS app

Question

To disable dark mode for the iOS app, we can simply set UIUserInterfaceStyle in Info.plist to Light.

But how do I disable dark mode on specific UIViewController's?

Answer 1

You can force viewController to act as you want. In viewDidLoad you have to follow this code to change UserInterfaceStyle

Objective-C

if (@available(iOS 13.0, *)) {
    [self setOverrideUserInterfaceStyle: UIUserInterfaceStyleLight];
}

Swift

if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
    overrideUserInterfaceStyle = .light
}

Answer 2

If you want to disable dark mode on specific view controllers than you have to put this code in viewcontroller's viewDidLoad method

    override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // overrideUserInterfaceStyle is available with iOS 13
    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
        // Always adopt a light interface style.
        overrideUserInterfaceStyle = .light
    }
}

Answer 3

• Instead of disabling it, you can use following code to make it look like it is disabled

  if #available(iOS 13.0, *)
  {
       self.view.overrideUserInterfaceStyle = .light
       // This will solve the problem (Current View will never be in dark mode
  
  }
