One of the most popular, in-demand features across apps and platforms online has been the dark theme or dark mode, and on Monday Google announced that Docs, Sheets and Slides apps on Android will now support the dark theme.
While the apps will borrow the dark theme settings from Android devices automatically, users can also independently enable or disable dark themes on each app.
To individually disable or enable the dark theme, go to the respective app’s menu, then select Settings > Theme > Dark. To preview a specific document in any of the apps in the light theme while the dark mode is turned on, tap on More > View in light theme.
“We’re enhancing Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides on Android with Dark theme support. Dark theme will intelligently adjust the product interface and user-generated content in ways that can make it more usable in low-light environments and save battery life,” Google announced.
Dark theme for Google Docs, Sheets and Slides Android apps has started rolling out and should be available universally over the next two weeks.
