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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Turn on Dark Mode with Siri: The absolute easiest way to turn on Dark Mode is to simply tell Siri to turn it on.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>To turn it on, say, "Hey, Siri, turn on Dark Mode" or "Hey, Siri, turn on Dark Appearance.

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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>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.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>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.
