Android users had to wait a long time for dark mode, but Android Pie has finally arrived. Far from being a simple “smart invert mode” like on iPhones, this feature is a complete redesign of some parts of the interface to make the user experience smoother, especially when using your smartphone in harsh conditions, low light. On smartphones with OLED screens, dark mode is also a way to save some battery. Google had accidentally briefly activated a dark mode in Android Oreo that was automatically activated depending on the wallpaper.
How to Enable Dark Mode on Android Pie
To enable dark mode on Android Pie smartphone:
- enter inside Settings > Display > Advanced > Device Theme
- To choose automatic if you want this mode enabled when the wallpaper is dark or Dark to activate the mod immediately
- To disable dark mode, return to the same menu and check the box Open
Of course, these instructions are general instructions. Depending on your manufacturer’s Android Pie build, the path may be slightly different than on a Pixel smartphone. It may also be that the result is not exactly the same as the dark mode of a Samsung smartphone, for example, under Samsung Experience 10.
Also, this theme essentially changes the way some parts of the system are displayed: essentially app drawer and Quick Settings. Enabling this dark mode at the system level does not change the theme of all apps that may also have their own dark mode, such as Google Maps.
