A quick guide showing you how to enable dark mode for Gmail on Android and iOS devices. A brand new dark theme recently added to Gmail for Android & iOS devices. A great way to reduce eyestrain from one of your most-used apps.
Gmail has been the staple email app for android and iOS devices for almost as long as both phones have been in existence. Providing a stable, reliable email base for most users. As great as Gmail is though, it has always lacked the ability to switch the interface over to dark mode, something that email apps like BlueMail have had as a standard feature for years.
However, as dark themes and dark modes have grown in popularity, brought on by their ability to save battery life (on devices with OLED screens) and eye strain relief, more and more apps and devices have started offering dark mode as standard. Which is probably why Google has finally bit the bullet and rolled out dark mode for Gmail on mobile devices.
Thankfully they’ve also made this process super easy, so follow along as we guide you through the process.
