Square Point of Sale or Square Appointments app on iOS.

About appearance settings

Square iOS apps support Light and Dark appearance modes. The Square Point of Sale app and the Square Appointments app both mirror your device's appearance setting automatically.

Square Point of Sale includes an in-app appearance toggle. Square Appointments does not have an in-app toggle — it follows your iOS system setting only.

Before you begin

Make sure your Square Point of Sale app or Square Appointments app is updated to the latest version from the App Store.

Use Auto mode with iOS system settings

To change when your device switches between Light and Dark, follow the steps to use Dark Mode on your iPhone and iPad.

The Square POS app will follow whatever your device is set to when Auto mode is active. Square Appointments always follows your device's appearance setting.

Troubleshooting

If text or icons appear incorrectly after switching appearance modes:

  1. Try switching to Light mode, then switch back to your preferred mode.

  2. Force quit the app (Square Point of Sale or Square Appointments) and reopen it.

  3. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version.

Square Appointments users: Since Square Appointments has no in-app appearance toggle, go to your device's Settings > Display & Brightness to switch between Light and Dark mode.

If the issue persists, contact Square Support for assistance.
