Android 16 dark mode apps

Google is planning to expand dark mode to more apps with Android 16. The best part of this capability is the applications that don’t have a dark theme will also support this feature. Users can easily force apps to show the dark interface at all times.

Most applications support dark themes these days. But some apps still don’t have an in-built dark mode. Even though it’s not an issue, it may be irritating to use such applications for work at night, resulting in discomfort for the eyes.

Looks like Google is preparing a solution to this scenario. Spotted by Mishaal Rahman, Android 16 may expand the dark mode capability to more apps in the future.

The Android analyst found a hidden feature named ‘make more apps dark’ in the Android 16 Beta. Google has been reportedly preparing the feature since last year. But it seems the new capability may go live with the upcoming major upgrade.

As per details, the ‘make more apps dark’ feature can automatically convert light theme apps to dark. It is expected to force turn apps into dark mode even if they don’t have a native dark theme. The tool is perfect for apps like Fitbit and Amazon.

It is worth mentioning that the feature already appeared in Android 15 testing builds as ‘make all apps dark’. Now it is shown in the Android 16 beta with a new name.

How to access the feature?

The “make more apps dark” feature resides in the Settings > Display & Touch > Dark Theme. The feature is still hidden but may go official with the stable version.

Unlike normal dark mode, the feature adjusts the app’s colors and enhances the dark mode experience for users. As a result, users won’t face any discoloration issues in the application. The feature is still in the developing phase. It may get better changes in the coming days,
