Android Dark Mode
The Dark mode, also known as night mode or dark theme, is a display option available on Android devices that changes the color scheme of the user interface from a predominantly light background with dark text to a predominantly dark background with light text. Dark mode is not only aesthetically pleasing but also has several benefits, including reducing eye strain in low-light environments and saving battery life on devices with OLED or AMOLED screens. Here’s how to enable dark mode on Android:
Method 1: Using Android System Settings (Android 10 and Later)
Open Settings:
- Open the “Settings” app on your Android device.
Display Settings:
- Scroll down and select “Display” or “Display & Sound,” depending on your device.
Dark Theme or Dark Mode:
- Look for an option labeled “Dark theme” or “Dark mode.” The wording may vary slightly depending on your device and Android version.
Toggle On:
- Tap the toggle switch next to “Dark theme” or “Dark mode” to enable it. Your device’s user interface will switch to a dark background.
Customization (Optional):
- Some devices and Android versions allow you to schedule dark mode, enabling it automatically at night or during specific hours.
Method 2: Using Quick Settings (Android 10 and Later)
Quick Settings:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Quick Settings menu.
Dark Theme Tile:
- Look for a “Dark theme” or “Dark mode” tile in the Quick Settings tiles.
Toggle On/Off:

Method 3: Using App-Specific Dark Mode (Android 9 and Later)
Some apps, including popular ones like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp, offer their own dark mode settings. You can enable dark mode for these apps individually:

Customization (Optional):
- Some apps allow you to schedule dark mode or customize its behavior.
The availability and behavior of dark mode may vary depending on your device’s manufacturer and the version of Android it’s running. Additionally, not all apps support dark mode, so you may need to check individual app settings to enable it where available.
