Since the release of iOS 13, Apple has included a system-wide Dark Mode option for iPhone. This means that third-party apps such as Gmail also support dark mode. Read our step-by-step guide to learn how to enable Dark Mode in Gmail on iPhone
Why Use Dark Mode in Gmail?
Using Dark Mode in Gmail can be really helpful in low-light conditions or when you want to avoid harsh screen brightness. The darker background is easier on the eyes and can make reading and sending emails more comfortable. Additionally, if you have an OLED iPhone, enabling Dark Mode can help conserve battery life. This is because black pixels in an OLED panel switch off and consume far less power, which means that using a dark theme can extend your battery life.
