How to enable dark mode iPhone

Dark Mode is a new feature on iPhones and iPad that comes with iOS 13.0 and later. This feature allows you to change the appearance on your screen to dark instead of the normal white/light look. Dark Mode uses a darker colour palette for all screens, menus, views and controls. It also makes your content on the screen stand out more against the darker backgrounds. A great feature of Dark Mode iPhone is that it automatically works with supported apps and website too.

How to Enable Dark Mode

To enable the dark mode on your iPhone or iPad, first, open the Control Center.

• On an iPhone X or later, swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen.
• On an iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone 8 or earlier, or iPod touch, swipe up from the bottom edge of any screen.

Here, tap and hold on the “Brightness” slider.

Now, tap on the “Dark mode” button to turn it on. If you want to disable the feature, you can tap on the icon again.

Alternatively, you can turn dark mode on or off through the Settings menu. You can do this by going to Settings > Display and tap on “Dark.”

Dark Mode | Apps and Websites
