How To Change Gmail Settings On Android

  • You can set up dark mode in Gmail on desktop or if you have an Android.
  • However, those with an iPhone will have to go through their device settings, not the Gmail app.
  • Android users also have that option, if they want everything to be in dark mode on their phone.

If you stare at screens all day long, the bright light can feel a bit grating on the eyes. Switching to dark mode may help combat the issue, and it can even help conserve your battery. For Gmail users, there are several options to get this done. But the method you'll use will depend on the device you're using.

For example, if you have an iPhone, you no longer have the option to use dark mode in the Gmail app. But there is a workaround you can use to get the dark mode effect from your device's system settings. But those on Android or desktop can access the dark mode option via the Themes menu in the app itself.

Here's how to do it all.

How to enable Gmail dark mode on desktop

1. Open Gmail and log in, if needed.

If you have iOS 13 and up, you can no longer switch your Gmail app to dark mode via the Themes menu.
