Let dark mode switch on at sunset
Dark mode schedule, step by step on Samsung and Pixel phones.
Why it helps
A dark screen is easier on the eyes at night, and on most phones it also saves a little battery.
What you'll notice
Apps and menus turn dark in the evening and light again in the morning, without you touching a thing.
