Google has just released the first beta for its upcoming version of Android — Android Q — and it comes with a bunch of awesome features. However, if, like us, you were excited about checking out the dark mode in Android Q, you’ll be sad to know that Google has removed the toggle from the first beta. Fortunately, there are some ways you can still use the dark mode in Android Q. So let’s take a look at how to enable Android Q’s dark mode:
One of the easiest ways to check out the dark mode in Android Q is to simply use the Battery Saver. Yeah, Google knows that AMOLED displays can help save battery with a dark theme. Anyway, here are a couple of ways to enable the Battery Saver mode and check out the dark mode in Android Q:
Swipe down on the notifications panel to get to the quick settings shade, and then tap on the ‘Battery Saver’ toggle to quickly switch between the light mode and the dark mode.
Use Android Q Dark Mode from Settings:
- In Settings, head over to ‘Battery.’ Here, tap on ‘Battery Saver.’
While the previous method is quick and easy to use, it will force you to use a battery saving mode on your phone for the dark mode, and if you’re looking to use the dark mode all the time, you might not want to always keep the phone in battery saving mode. Fortunately, the good folks over at XDA figured out an ADB command to enable dark mode in Android Q:
adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 2
adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode
