- GekkePrutser 6y agoOh I wasn't aware of that. I don't really use many of them. Just the play store really, I did notice that one didn't support it right away. I don't even use Google Maps, nor Gmail, Chrome or Youtube etc :) With third-party apps there was a bit of a lag in support but the same goes for dark mode on iOS. Even now some apps don't support that. But right now the main apps I use on Android all support it. Samsung Mail, OSMAnd for maps, Firefox (with dark reader extension that automatically matches the system dark mode!), most chat apps I use, password store, MS apps I use for work, etc. It's really amazing to have this. I'm sensitive to too-bright displays and most displays these days are tuned for maximum output, not minimum.
- athms 6y agoI can understand if your using a Samsung device. I have a Pixel and Pixel 3a XL, and the pure Android experience has not been great regarding dark mode. That said, I am not a fan of dark mode in general because of the eye strain. I use it on the Pixels because they have OLED screens and I am trying to maximize battery life.
