Dark Mode is a display setting that changes the interface background to black or dark gray, while text and icons appear in lighter shades. It provides a sleek, modern look and is easier on the eyes, especially in low-light environments. For iPhones with OLED screens, Dark Mode can also help save battery life by using less power to display dark pixels. Beyond functionality, many users prefer it for its clean, stylish aesthetic.

Where is Dark Mode in iOS?
Is that a question that comes to your mind after hearing the news about Official Dark Mode on iPhone? While many people still don’t know how to enable Dark Mode, we decided to help and guide them. There are two, different methods to Turn on Dark Mode on iPhone.
Method 1: Enable Dark Mode – iPhone Settings App
Dark mode can be enabled from the Settings app on your iPhone. We can say that this method is manual, so every time you want to enable or disable Dark Mode, you have to follow the same steps.
- Go to the “Settings” app on your iPhone.
- Locate and tap “Display & Brightness”.
- Tap on the “Dark” option.
How to Schedule Dark Mode
However, this can be annoying and boring to enable dark mode manually, so why not schedule dark mode on iPhone. Once you do so, the iPhone will time to time switch between Dark Mode and Light Mode.
- Open the “Settings” app.
- Tap “Display & Brightness”.
- Choose the “Light” mode.
- Toggle on “Automatic”.
- Select “Options” tab.
- Tick marks the “Sunset to Sunrise” option.
After enabling Dark Mode, it will “Automatically transition iPhone appearance between light and dark mode based on-time performance” said Apple.
How to Set Custom Time in Dark Mode
One more option we have got which allows you to set custom time in Dark Mode. Set your own time when do you like to enable Dark Mode and when not to.
- Open “Settings” app.
- Scroll down and open “Display & Brightness”.
- Keep the “Light” mode, selected.
- Turn on “Automatic”.
- Select “Options”.
- Choose “Custom Schedule”.
- On this screen, you can set “Light Appearance” and “Dark Appearance” time as per your convenience.
NOTE: Light Appearance will set the Light mode as per your time whereas Dark Appearance will enable Dark Mode automatically at a given time.
Method 2: . Enable via Control Center
Control Center is the easiest and quickest settings where we can customize most of the functions in a second. Likewise, Dark mode can also be enabled from the Control Center. Unfortunately, Dark Mode didn’t get any separate icon, so it can be impossible for the person who is trying to enable Dark Mode from Control Center. Let’s see how you can enable Dark Mode from Control Center.
- Pull down or bring up the Control Center in your iDevice. [On iPad, Swipe finger down from the top-right edge of iPad screen]
- Tap and hold the “Brightness dial”.
- Click on “Appearance”.

- In the end, pressing and holding on to the Assistive touch button (dark spot on the screen) so you will get the Accessibility shortcuts actions sheet.
- Tap on Smart Invert Colors.
You’re Done!
Method #3. Enable Dark Mode using Siri Command on iPhone
I have tested dark mode in iOS using Siri command on my iPhone. Just invoke Siri and ask her ‘Enable smart invert mode’ and that gives dark mode screen quickly.
Hmm if you ask hey Siri enable dark mode, but it doesn’t reply you (Sorry, but I’m not able to change that setting.) because users say dark mode but the brand wise that is Smart Invert Colors. I also tested Hey Siri ‘Enable dark mode, ’’ but she replied me, Sorry, but I’m not able to change that setting. Haha!!
Method #4. Activate iOS Dark Mode on iPhone using Triple-click Home Button
By triple-clicking the home button on your iPhone or iPad, you can access the Accessibility Shortcuts. Select “Smart Invert Colors” to enable dark mode, which changes the background to black and the text to white. Experts suggest that dark mode is more suitable for reading and is less taxing on the eyes.
So, you can enjoy iOS Dark Mode in messages, iMessage, WhatsApp, Safari browser, Dark Mode Music App, Phone contacts, Mail App, News App, and much more.
Still Smart Invert Colors is currently running in a beta version, so it may not work properly due to a bug in the version. At that time, you have to submit a report in the Apple Feedback App.
Lots of thanks, Apple, especially for the iOS Dark Mode feature, because turning on Dark Mode turns my iPhone keyboard, just like my MacBook Pro’s backlight keyboard.
