Description

The changes can be found in this iOS pull request. https://github.com/shiftyjelly/pocketcasts-ios/pull/3672

> It's been a long standing pet peeve (and a source of some user complaints) that when you choose to follow the iOS light/dark mode in our app things get a bit confusing. Mainly that:
>
> - there's no indication of how to select the dark theme the app will use
> - if you tap on a light theme while in dark mode, or a dark theme while in light mode the setting gets toggled off
> - our hidden long press to toggle theme gesture gets triggered accidentally or if people are doing it on purpose it has the same issue as above.
