Fix issues with apps that show in Dark theme
Dark theme isn't available for all apps.
Important: When you turn on Dark theme for your device, or when battery saver is on, many apps will also use Dark theme.
To check an app’s theme settings:
- If Dark theme is on but an app is light, the app probably doesn’t offer Dark theme.
- If light theme is on but an app is dark, it could be:
- Dark theme is on for the app, but not for the whole device. To check, open the app’s settings and find “Theme” or “Display” options. Specifics vary by app.
- The app uses a dark color scheme, and it can’t be changed.
Change the color scheme
- On your phone, go to the Settings app.
- Tap Wallpaper & style.
- To change the color palette of your wallpaper, tap Wallpaper colors and select the color palette you like.
- To change the color of your tabs to a specific color, tap Basic colors and select the color you like.
