Gmail's Dark Mode is Now Being Rolled Out, How to Get Yours on Android 10

Earlier this year, Google started adding dark mode to the Android Pie update, though not every devices received it. Now, the much-hyped, much-expected Android 10 has been released, and it comes with an incredible feature that allows users to automatically apply a systemwide dark theme across Google's OS when they turn it on. You can also easily turn the dark mode on in individual Google apps, from Calendar to YouTube.

However, not all Google apps make use of the automatic default system dark theme feature, including Chrome. Gmail was among the apps not making use of the feature until just recently when Google started rolling out a dark-mode setting for Gmail on Android 10.

If you want to know how to turn on the dark mode in Gmail on Android 10, then follow the steps below.

How to turn on the Gmail dark mode setting in Android 10

1. Open the Gmail app on your phone and tap the hamburger menu in the top left.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the list, and tap Settings.

3. Tap General Settings.

4. At the top of the list, tap Theme.

5. Tap Dark, or if you've already set the dark theme as your system default, tap System default.

For those who want to know how to automatically set dark mode systemwide, go to the phone Settings and tap Display. Near the bottom of the list of settings, toggle on Dark theme and the feature will be applied automatically.

Dark mode has been increasingly in demand, even before it came to Android. Popular apps such as Facebook Messenger, Twitter and Reddit apps have already been using the feature.

With dark mode, you will be able to save battery life and your phone's screen will be easier on your eyes at night.
