How to use light and dark mode on your phone

What Is Dark Mode?

Dark mode (also called night mode) switches your screen's background from bright white to darker shades, reducing glare and eye strain, especially in low-light environments. On OLED/AMOLED screens, it can also extend battery life.

How to enable Dark Mode

Steps on iPhone

Go to Settings.
Tap Display & Brightness.
Select Dark.
Optionally, toggle Automatic to switch based on time of day or sunset.

Steps on Android phones

Go to Settings.
Tap Display.
Select Dark Theme or Dark Mode.
Optionally, schedule it or tie it to specific conditions in the same menu.
