Dark mode isn't turning on even though you enabled it
Make sure dark mode is on in your operating system settings, check if the app has its own dark mode toggle (many do), and restart the app.
Dark mode doesn't apply because the OS setting is off, the app's own dark mode toggle is off, or the app doesn't support dark mode. Most fix by checking both settings and restarting.

- Enabling system dark mode but forgetting to check and enable the app's own dark mode toggle
- Not restarting the app after enabling dark mode — some apps don't apply the change until restart
- Assuming an app is broken when it simply doesn't support dark mode
- Not updating the app — dark mode support is added in new versions
- Keeping disabled dark mode extensions in the browser that conflict with native dark mode
- Setting up scheduled dark mode but not verifying the system time is correct
