Dark theme and Colour inversion

You can change your display to a dark background with either Dark theme or Colour inversion.

 

Turn on Dark theme or Colour inversion

 

1. Open your device's settings app .
2. Tap Accessibility.
3. Under Display, turn on Dark theme or Colour inversion. 
   • Dark theme applies to the Android system UI and supported apps. Colours don't change in media, such as videos.
   • Colour inversion applies to everything on your device, including media. For example, black text on a white screen becomes white text on a black screen. There can be issues with colour quality or legibility.  

Using Dark theme and Colour inversion together

• Android 10 or later: If you open an app that doesn't support Dark theme, turn on Colour inversion in addition to Dark theme.
• Android 9 or earlier: You can only use one of these settings at a time. For example, if you turn on Dark theme, Colour inversion automatically turns off.
