Dark Mode:  Rita’s iDevice Advice for December 28, 2020 Dark Mode:

Apples mobile operating system  introduced  a Dark Mode for your iPhone and
iPads interface.  Once it's on, formerly white interface elements of iOS
change to black (or a deep slate gray), and the text shifts to a brighter
color for better legibility.  That means that many Apple apps (such as Mail
and Music) will now put less of a strain on your eyes at night, and Dark
Mode may even improve your battery life.

Turn on Dark Mode with Siri:  The absolute easiest way to turn on Dark Mode
is to simply tell Siri to turn it on.

To turn it on, say, "Hey, Siri, turn on Dark Mode" or "Hey, Siri, turn on
Dark Appearance.  It will immediately switch over.  To turn it off, say,
"Hey Siri, turn off Dark Mode" or "Hey, Siri, turn off Dark Appearance.

Turn on Dark Mode through Control Center:  To turn on Dark Mode through your
iPhone or iPads Control Center.  Open Control Center by swiping down
diagonally from the upper-right corner of your devices display.  Hold down
on the Brightness indicator.  It's the one with the sun icon.  In the
full-screen interface that pops up, you will see a toggle for Appearance:
Light in the lower left.  Press it, and your phone will immediately switch
to Dark Mode (and the toggle will now read Appearance: Dark).
Alternatively, you can add a shortcut to Control Center so you can cut out a
step.  Go to Settings > Control Center >Customize Controls.  At the bottom,
you will see Dark Appearance under the section Heading More Controls.  Press
the green plus sign to the left and iOS will add it to your main Control
Center interface.  From now on, whenever you want to turn on Dark Mode, just
open your Control Center and press that icon.  The icon looks like a
half-moon with a circle inside it (or, if you prefer, a black-and-white.
Pokéball Turn on Dark Mode through the Settings app:  Open the Settings
app.  Press Display & Brightness. At the top, you will see two
configurations for Light or Dark.  Press Dark. You are in Dark Mode.  You
will also see a toggle for Automatic.  Flip that toggle to green if you
would like for your iPhone to automatically switch to Dark Mode between
sunrise and sunset.

With iOS 13 and later software updates, and iPad OS, you can enable a
system-wide Dark Mode, shifting the overall appearance to a darker color and
giving your eyes a break, especially at night. When Dark Mode is enabled,
you'll see a dark background with white letters, instead of the typical
white background with dark letters.

 

The appearance. Selecting "Light" will allow you to see exactly what you've
always seen, while the Dark Appearance is the other choice. Setting a
schedule for Dark Mode, such as, from sunset to sunrise, might be useful.
You can adjust these settings under Settings>Display and
Brightness>Appearance. You can also instantly toggle between light and dark
appearances from this Settings screen. You can even toggle Dark Mode from
within Control Center. If you do not see the appearance toggle in Control
Center, go to Settings>Control Center>Customize Controls, and add the
options you want.

Most built-in Apple apps have been enhanced with a special dark theme that
presents itself whenever Dark Mode is enabled, and many third-party app
developers will have taken advantage of such capabilities.

How to Turn On Dark Mode on the iPhone in iOS 14 The Dark Mode feature in
iOS 14 reverses the color scheme on your iPhone, darkening the background
and lightening text to provide higher contrast, and can help reduce the eye
strain caused by looking at bright screens. In iOS 14, all you need to do to
switch to Dark Mode on your iPhone is make some quick changes in the
Settings app. Here's how to change your iPhone to Dark Mode in iOS 14.
