Have you ever picked up your phone in a dark environment and felt the painful burst of white light in your eyes? Thankfully, Android has decided to remove our pain by offering a dark mode in the newest Android version, i.e., Android Q. People have grown more conscious about the harm caused by staring at screens and the potential disruption of sleep caused by blue light. While some smartphone manufacturers have provided different versions of night mode, a true dark mode was missing on Android devices. The dark theme added by Google in Android pie only changed the background notification shade and app drawer. It did not affect the settings or any apps. In Android Q, we are about to receive a true system-wide dark mode.
To turn on dark mode:
Go to Settings >> Display >>Theme and select Dark.
It changes the backgrounds of all the settings menus and apps like Phone, Contacts, and Photos. It is expected that other apps will work towards compatibility with dark mode.
Google has also included a “Force Dark” option for developers, which automatically converts light backgrounds to darker tones.
Another advantage of the dark mode is that it will reduce battery consumption, particularly in OLED screens, as said in a session at Google I/O.
