YouTube dark mode is a great way to watch your videos while reducing blue light, making the images look more vibrant and improving battery life. To turn on YouTube dark mode, follow the instructions below. Alternatively, you can simply toggle on the dark mode from your settings menu. This article will cover all the benefits and drawbacks of this feature.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTubes_dark_mode_reduces_blue_light\"><\/span>YouTube&#8217;s dark mode reduces blue light<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tired of the blue light that&#8217;s emitted by your phone&#8217;s screen, you might want to enable YouTube&#8217;s dark theme. Using YouTube in dark mode will drastically reduce the amount of blue light you&#8217;re exposed to, saving you battery life while allowing you to enjoy videos comfortably. It&#8217;s also easier on your eyes. Follow the steps below to turn on YouTube&#8217;s dark mode.<\/p>\n<p>Dark mode is another way to minimize the amount of blue light you&#8217;re exposed to. YouTube&#8217;s dark mode helps save power and lessen the strain on your eyes, which is especially important for people who spend a lot of time on their mobile devices. YouTube&#8217;s dark mode is available on iPhones, iPads, and Chromebooks. You can switch between these modes if you like. This can also be useful for watching low-resolution videos.<\/p>\n<p>To enable YouTube&#8217;s dark mode on iPhones, iPads, and other devices, visit the Settings &gt; General. Once there, select &#8216;Dark mode&#8217; in the menu bar. Toggle on dark mode for every web page. After enabling it, simply reopen the app a few times and YouTube will remember the setting for future visits. Then, choose your favorite dark theme and enable YouTube&#8217;s dark mode.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_makes_images_pop_more\"><\/span>It makes images pop more<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube&#8217;s dark theme will make images pop more on your device. You can change your device&#8217;s default theme to dark mode and switch between light and dark themes to customize your viewing experience. To enable YouTube dark mode on your device, click the profile icon in the top right corner of the app. If you&#8217;re on Windows or macOS, you can choose to change the default mode of your app to dark. Chrome users can enable the dark theme for every website.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube users can now choose to turn their browser&#8217;s background from white to black. The new feature has been live on web browsers for months, and will soon come to Android and iOS. YouTube dark mode makes images pop more so that they&#8217;re easy to see. You can use it on your desktop, laptop, or mobile device to enhance your viewing experience. To use YouTube dark mode, make sure you have the latest browser version installed.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube introduced its dark theme for desktop users last spring. In March, it rolled out the feature to Android users, too. YouTube didn&#8217;t confirm a rollout for Android users, but it has since begun to be seen on Apple&#8217;s mobile devices. While YouTube hasn&#8217;t officially confirmed that dark mode is coming to mobile users, it seems likely because it got enough traction on desktop to roll out to mobile users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_affects_battery_life\"><\/span>It affects battery life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might be wondering if YouTube dark mode affects battery life. The answer depends on the type of display you&#8217;re using, but it will probably help you in more ways than one. OLED displays, for example, will lose battery life significantly if you use Dark Mode. However, LCD displays don&#8217;t suffer the same battery loss as OLED ones. In either case, the YouTube dark theme can save you some battery life.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers tested six popular apps that users frequently use, including YouTube and Google Maps. They also tested Calculator and the Google Play Store. YouTube&#8217;s dark mode was the most heavily used one, which decreased battery life by nearly 60%. The study was conducted on the Google Pixel 2, Moto Z3 and Pixel 5.<\/p>\n<p>The battery life increase from dark mode can be quite significant, and should continue to grow as more apps add support for it. But it doesn&#8217;t mean that YouTube is inherently harmful to your phone. There are also many benefits to using Dark Mode, such as enhanced viewing experience, which improves battery life and helps preserve battery. And of course, the benefits of using dark mode on YouTube are obvious: it conserves battery life.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/w4h5MYqoaL8\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"300\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Turn on YouTube Dark Mode YouTube is a very popular video-sharing site, but did you know that it also has a dark mode?
