It looks like the moderator does not find this to be an issue. He thinks that the system is not able to determine the themes due to some changes in the settings of users’ phones and that is why the wrong themes are being applied every time.
The moderator further asked the members to visit Settings >> Accessibility >> Visibility Improvement >> Transparency and Blur Reduction to ensure it’s turned on. That’s because the accessibility feature is for the low-vision and since its own UI is applied, the theme is not applied.
In case the problem still occurs, the moderator said users to send the log via Send an error immediately at the bottom of the Members app >> Get help >> Send an error.
