Hi all,

in my app the block “is device color scheme … dark?” says **always** “false”, regardless of whether my phone is in light or dark mode.

Tested without success under the following conditions:

- iPhone XR with iOS 17.2.1, Thunkable live 441-2
- Samsung S20 with Android 13, Thunkable live 441-6

I am working with “Snap to place”.

EDIT: I sent an app (with the not-working detection of the dark mode) to apple appstore. When running the app in TestFlight the detection of “dark mode” **works**. It seems as if only the live view app (iOS and Android) has the problem.

This is the same thing your describing on **iOS** ⬇

> [@iOS Live App bug](https://community.thunkable.com/t/ios-live-app-bug/2763423/2):
>
> The Thunkable Live app does not currently support Dark Mode, even if your OS settings have it turned on.
> 
> If you publish an app with Dark Mode to the App Store, it will display the keyboard based on whether your OS is set to Light, Dark, or Automatic.
> 
> Apologies for any inconvenience!

On **Android** , dark mode does work on the Live App on Android, I know because I have an Android, so please update your Live App.
