How to enable dark mode for Chrome on Android
First, in order for the dark mode option to show up in Chrome’s settings, you’ll need to be running version 74 or higher of the Chrome Android app. You can check your app’s version and download the most recent update from the Google Play Store. Once you’re properly updated, do the following:
- In Chrome, type “chrome://flags” into the URL bar. This will take you to Chrome’s flag settings, which we’ll need to tweak in order to see the dark mode option in Chrome’s settings.
- Tap the flag page’s search bar then search for “Android Chrome UI dark mode,” which should jump you straight to the correct flag setting.
- Tap the flag’s drop-down box and change the setting from “default” to “enabled,” then restart Chrome.
- When the app is open again, tap the the-dot menu button, then go to Settings>Dark Mode. Tap the slider and Chrome should automatically swap to its new dark theme. If you can’t seem to find the dark mode setting after enabling the flag, try restarting the app (it may take a few refreshes for the option to show up).
