Samsung One UI 8.5: dark mode chaos prompts quick workarounds
Android Authority reports that Samsung’s One UI 8.5 update is triggering dark‑mode glitches in Google apps across Galaxy devices (including S25/S24), showing a mix of black, gray, and light-gray UI. The root cause appears to be a clash between Google’s Material You styling and Samsung’s updated color palette. Workarounds include using a forked Shizuku to revert colors or tweaking the Color Palette/Wallpaper settings, with a potential fix expected in a future update. Samsung has not issued an official statement yet; users can report the issue via the Members app.
