A native dark mode has been in the works for a long time on Google Chrome’s mobile app. The feature has already been deployed on iOS and here it comes on Android. As a bonus, the browser has a new interface to display its tabs.
Indeed, the users of Google Pixel 4 phones have already received the update. But, no other smartphones has reported it for the moment.
Until now, to activate the dark mode on Chrome for Android, it was necessary to make a manipulation at the level of the flags. On Android 10, it’s not necessary to touch these settings and after simply turning on the smartphone dark system mode, Google’s browser interface has also darkened.
For other devices that runs the previous versions of Android, you can easily turn it on by tapping the menu icon and then hitting Settings > Themes. Once there, you can choose between three options: System default, Light, and Dark.
