In this Itechguide, Victor teaches you how to enable Chrome dark mode on Android. The guide also covers steps to enable Chrome dark mode on iOS.

Option 1: Enable Chrome Dark Mode on Android

Open Google Chrome App on your Android phone.

How to Enable Chrome Dark Mode on Android

Then, on the top right of the App (beside the URL bar), tap the app’s menu (3 lines). When you tap the app’s menu, a set of options will be displayed.

From the displayed options, tap Settings.

When the Chrome Settings open, scroll down and tap Themes.

The Theme settings screen has 3 options: Light – the default mode, System default – this tuns on dark theme when your device’s dark theme or Battery Saver is on. Then, there is the Dark mode.

Finally, to enable Chrome dark mode on Android, select Dark option.

Your Chrome browser will turn to dark mode immediately.

Option 2: Enable Chrome Dark Mode on iOS

The steps to enable Chrome dark mode on iOS is different from the steps to enable Chrome dark mode on Android. On Android, you have to enable Dark mode directly from Chrome settings.

However, on iOS (iPhone and iPad), you have to enable Dark mode from your device’s settings – the Chrome app will automatically inherit the dark mode settings on your device setting.

To enable dark mode on iOS, your device must be running iOS 13. To check the version of iOS installed on your phone: Open Settings -> General -> Software Update.

Once you confirmed that iOS 13 is installed on your device, follow the steps below to enable dark mode on your Apple device.

Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

When the Settings screen opens, scroll down and tap Display & Brightness.

Finally, to enable Chrome dark mode on iOS, below APPEARANCE, tab Dark. Dark mode will be enabled immediately – see the second image below.

Now if you open Google Chrome, it will display in dark mode.
