Get ready, dark mode fans! Exciting news for Android users is just around the corner!
One step towards total consistency on Android
I’ve been using dark mode on my smartphone for years, activating it as soon as it’s available and forcing it on those apps that still don’t implement it. For me, it’s not just about aesthetics, but about comfort and consistency in the system interface.
Now, leaks suggest that Android 16 will bring one of the most anticipated features: the ability to apply dark mode to all apps, without exception.
According to Android Police, this feature was supposed to be part of Android 15, but its development wasn’t ready in time. Now, everything indicates that in the next version of Google’s operating system, this setting will be a reality.
A smarter and seamless dark mode
The problem with forcing dark mode on apps that don’t support it is that the result is not always the best. In some cases, colors are inverted incorrectly, making certain texts or buttons hard to see.
This is where Android 16’s new feature comes into play, internally called “Make all apps dark.” According to expert Mishaal Rahman, this option will not just arbitrarily invert colors, but will intelligently adjust graphic elements to offer a more natural experience without compromising usability.
In addition to providing greater visual consistency, this improvement will be of great help in low-light situations. In my case, I use my phone to read before sleeping, and there’s nothing more annoying than an app with a white background breaking the experience.
Android 16: the natural evolution of dark mode
Every night, I have my phone set up to reduce visual fatigue: I activate the “Night Light” function and the “Extra Dimming” to lower the brightness to the minimum. However, if an app doesn’t support dark mode, all of this becomes meaningless.
, without the need to look for alternative solutions or force settings with unpredictable results.
If you’re a dark mode advocate like me, it’s time to get excited: the ultimate solution is closer than we imagined.
