Benefits of Dark Mode
As mentioned in the beginning, dark mode is better for low-light settings as it reduces the strain on your eyes. There is an added benefit of using your phone and not disturbing other people, like in the cinema.
What’s more, when your device is in dark mode, the screen emits less blue light, which is known to keep you awake and negatively affect the quality and quantity of your sleep.
Dark mode also saves battery life and for Android devices that do not have Apple’s Battery Optimization Charging feature, it can be a great way to prolong your battery’s lifespan.
That said, you should still avoid using dark mode in well-lit or sunny rooms or read longer texts, as this can result in eye fatigue.
Bottom line
