Apple has rolled out iOS 13 for iPhone and iPod touch users. The new software update comes with a host of new features and security updates. One of the features rolled out with iOS 13 is Dark Mode.
Dark mode has been one of the most-awaited features of iOS 13. As the name suggests, the dark mode would change the user interface’s background colour to black.
The dramatic, elegant look and feel of a darkly themed user interface not only offers the user something new in terms of visuals but also aids in saving battery life on iPhones with OLED displays.
To activate Dark Mode on iPhone or iPod touch, you need to update your device to iOS 13.
