Do you know that dark mode is becoming really popular on devices? Yep, thanks to the recent updates on iOS and Android, now you can switch to dark mode on any iPhone or Android phone. And because of that, more and more apps are starting to offer a dark mode option.
Now, you might not be aware of this, but most Google apps already have a dark mode option. Whether you’re looking to go dark because it looks cool, to save some battery, or even for medical reasons, I’ll show you how to enable this feature on Google apps.
Let’s Start with Google Sheets
Unfortunately, Google Sheets and Google Docs don’t have a built-in dark mode option at the moment. But don’t worry, there are some third-party apps that can help you achieve that dark look. One great example is Dark Reader. It offers both Filter and Filter+ modes that not only make the top menu dark, but also the actual cells on your Sheets. It’s like having a dark mode right there in Google Sheets!
Welcome to the World of Google Apps
Guess what? Google Drive has a new feature – dark mode! But hold on, this feature is only available on Android 10 models. So, if you’re an Android user, rejoice! The dark mode in Google Drive will follow your device’s global dark mode setting.
Now, let’s talk about the other apps in the Google family. While Google Drive may be the parent app for Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, and Forms, the dark mode in Google Drive won’t affect those apps. Vice versa, if your Sheets, Docs, Slides, or Forms have dark mode, it won’t affect your Google Drive. They have separate themes, so you can customize your experience however you like.
Stay Organized with Google Calendar
If you want to set your agenda without hurting your eyes, you can now enable dark mode in Google Calendar. Android users can simply go to “Settings” > “General” > “Theme” to toggle on the dark mode. Just like Google Drive, Google Calendar also respects your device’s system-wide dark mode setting. Unfortunately, iPhone users will have to wait a little longer for this feature.
Discover New Apps in Google Play Store
Google Play Store is the hub for all your app downloads, and it now has an official dark mode. However, there’s no manual toggle for dark mode within the app itself. Instead, it follows the global dark mode setting of Android 10. So, as long as your device supports dark mode, you can enjoy browsing for apps and games in the dark.
Surf the Internet with Google Chrome
Whether you’re using a PC or a Mac, you can set your Google Chrome to dark mode. Just click on the “Settings” icon in the top-right corner of your browser and navigate to the “Appearance” section. From there, you can access the Chrome Web Store and download the “Just Black” theme to enjoy your dark theme. Android and iOS users, unfortunately, will have to wait for dark mode on the Google Chrome app.
The World of YouTube in Dark Mode
The trend of dark mode was actually spearheaded by YouTube. Whether you’re using the web version or the app, you can now enjoy a dark theme on YouTube. On desktop, simply go to your profile icon, select “Dark Theme,” and toggle it on. If you’re using the mobile app, tap your profile picture, go to “Settings,” and flip the switch next to “Dark theme.”
Catch up on Emails with Gmail
Good news for Gmail users! The highly anticipated dark mode is finally here for both Android and iOS. The app follows your device’s system-wide dark theme settings. However, Android users also have the option to manually enable or disable dark mode within the app itself. In case you don’t see the dark mode option yet, don’t worry! An update will fix this soon.
Experience the Power of Google Assistant
While some Google apps like Discover have had dark mode for a while, others, like Google Assistant, have been missing out. Fortunately, dark mode is now available for beta users of Google Assistant. It respects your device’s system-wide dark mode setting and should roll out for all users soon.
Record with Style in Google Recorder
If you’re using an Android phone, you’re in luck because Google Recorder comes with built-in dark mode that follows your device’s global dark mode setting. However, you can also manually change the theme by going to the “Settings” menu and selecting your preferred light or dark theme.
Work Out with Google Fit
If you’re a Google Fit user, you’ll be happy to know that dark mode is now fully supported. It respects your device’s global dark mode setting, but you can also toggle it on or off within the app itself, giving you more control over your workout experience.
Enjoy Photos in Dark Mode with Google Photos
If you’re an Android user, you can now enjoy the Google Photos app in dark mode. This dark theme covers all settings and menus, providing a sleek look. However, don’t worry about your photos – they won’t be affected by the dark background. Unfortunately, iOS users will have to wait for this feature.
The Dark Mode Hype
Dark mode is becoming a popular feature in many apps. Not only does it look cool, but it also reduces eye strain and saves battery life. So, if you don’t see dark mode in a Google app yet, don’t worry – it’s on its way! Let me know in the comments which apps you’d like to see in dark mode and what you love the most about this theme.
