Dark Mode
Back in the day, we used to have a number of apps that used a dark UI. At that time, the utility of the Dark UI was not taken into consideration. Back in 2016, Twitter brought its Dark Mode to the table. Twitter’s Dark Mode was not warmly welcomed as it wasn’t the true Dark Mode. However, there were other applications set to implement this idea. With the passage of time, we saw apps like YouTube, Google Chrome Browser, Facebook Messenger, Gmail, and many others adding a Dark theme. Later on, in 2018, operating system and phone makers started implementing the Dark Mode as a part of the phone’s system.
As of today, Google has its Dark Mode in the Android 10 UI. Samsung has the Night Mode in its Samsung One UI. Huawei also has its Dark Mode and OnePlus has been giving a Dark Theme for quite some time as well.
It was only Apple who didn’t join this bandwagon yet. However, with the release of the new iOS 13, it looks like Apple has listened to the masses and it finally added a Dark theme.
Dark Mode on iOS 13
Apple’s Dark theme in the iOS 13 and iPadOS 13.1 turns the entire UI into black. All of native Apple apps also support the Dark Mode. The new UI looks impressive. Especially if you’ve been used to seeing the white UI all your life, you are going to love this sudden change in the UI. The white UI is still there and it is set as the default display mode, the Dark UI is given as an additional option.
The idea of Dark Mode is not to turn the display into black only. It basically has a couple of useful applications. The Dark Mode, at first, doesn’t strain your eyes. If you are using your phone in the night, it’s recommended to switch on the Dark Mode to avoid the stress on your eyes. Furthermore, a darker theme saves a little bit of battery percentage on Super AMOLED screens. Apple’s flagship devices come with Super AMOLED panels which means that you are going to find the Dark Mode useful.
That’s all about the Dark Mode on iOS 13. Take a look at the steps below to enable Dark Mode on your iPhone or iPad right now.
