Dark Mode 🌘 [Check for app updates 🙏 ]

Good morning, apologies for the delay.

I’ve had a look and it does look a phased rollout, as with most implementations we want to make sure we get this right.

Please keep your app up to date with the latest version and this should be with you :soon:

I’m unable to give a timeframe on when this will be, hopefully not too much longer :pray:t3:

That can’t be right :man_facepalming:

This help article says it should be there https://monzo.com/help/app-help/switch-on-dark-mode-web it doesn’t say about a rollout…

I’ve had it dark mode since labs launch and only turned it off in labs because it was posted as fully released on socials. Seeing as I had the option in settings and the feature was released I thought I should turn off labs. It was then fine for weeks and now it’s stopped working with the theme setting vanishing.

If I message support could the labs option be turned back on?

I very much doubt it.

I’m not sure that would be possible.

You’re free to reach out in chat to see if they can support any further with this, but the response may be the same until it’s rolled out fully.

Sorry I can’t help any further with this.

There isn’t one from what I seen :sweat_smile:

Not sure of the timeline but I’ve flagged the issue with the team who are responsible for the rollout.

(Back to sleep now :joy:)

So further to the mystery if I go to help and search dark mode it says it’s available for “everyone”.

The link takes me to the theme settings but when I turn on dark mode the nab bar changes to dark only, and then on a force close of the app it is back in light mode.

Something strange here so will do a chat to CS.


Do you use dark mode normally for the rest of iOS? Does choosing the bottom option help?

No. Using iOS dark mode and then device theme in Monzo app has the same results as just having dark mode enabled that I shared above.

Super Dan has raised this for you. :pray:t3:

The theme option is missing from the settings. So can no longer turn on dark mode.

I was using fine when it was in labs. When launched. I turned off in labs. And enabled in the themes menu.

All was good for a while, the when I upgraded to iOS 16. App went back to light and theme option and lab option both gone.

IOS 16.0.2
iPhone 11 Pro Max
Latest app version 4.48.0. Also tried in latest TestFlight version. 4.49.0

Hey. This is currently in a phased rollout for everyone to have this eventually over the coming weeks.

As Revels posted above, there is a thread here to follow :relaxed:

It doesn’t seem like this is a staggered rollout issue as advised above as I had exactly the same problem. Live chat advised they have fixed something their end, so hopefully that means it might be fixed for you too.
If not I’d suggest to live chat Monzo for support

Unless it’s the classic IT support response of “turn it off and back on again” and they hope it has been resolved.

Is this working now at all?

If not, can you drop me a DM with the email address on your account and I can get this flagged up with our engineers :relaxed:

Found a couple of issues, not sure if they’ve been brought up before as I’m not scrolling through the entire thread.

So I’m in dark mode, whilst setting up a pot I get the following screen, burning my retinas out.

After continuing past this screen, it jumps back to dark mode for the next list of stuff which you never read. It’s missing text as the headings are black so you can’t see them against the dark theme.

Just to show what’s missing I enabled burning retina mode, went back to the screen to take the screenshot below.

So just a few tweaks to be made please, at some point… Soon :eyes:

So the 2nd screenshot is now fixed :raised_hands: all the text is the same colour so you can see it all. Still left with the whole blinding white screen of the 1st screenshot though… Hint hint :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Noticed the Monzo (phone) contacts in Payee section haven’t been dark moded when you click into them.
