How to disable Dark Mode on Instagram from your iPhone:

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Scroll down and select Display & Brightness.
  3. Make sure that Light is selected.  If you would like to set it to just turn on/off at night, select the toggle for Automatic, otherwise Light will be enabled constantly.
  4. The next time that you open your Instagram App, Dark Mode should be off.  Keep in mind, if you only set it to turn on at night, then Dark Mode will only be enabled on Instagram at night.
  5. If you have turned off iOS Dark Mode and Instagram is still in dark mode, I recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling the Instagram app to fix this issue.
