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.

Now simply select either Light or Dark from the list, then back out of the settings menus and the app will be displayed in your newly chosen theme.
