About appearance settings

Square iOS apps support Light and Dark appearance modes. The Square Point of Sale app and the Square Invoices app all mirror your device’s appearance setting automatically.

Before you begin

Make sure your Square Point of Sale, Square Retail POS or Square Invoices 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.

All apps will follow whatever your device is set to when Auto mode is active.

Override appearance in the app

Square Point of Sale and Square Retail POS let you set light or dark mode directly in the app. This overrides the device setting for that app only.

  1. Open the Square Point of Sale or Square Retail Point of Sale app.

  2. Tap Settings > Appearance.

  3. Select Light, Dark or System to return to the device default.

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 Square Point of Sale, Square Retail POS or Square Invoices app and reopen it.

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

If the issue persists, contact Square Support for assistance.
