Dark mode has become the preferred visual aesthetic for many smartphone users due to its reduced distraction and potential power-saving benefits , particularly on devices with OLED screens . While most apps offer a default dark mode option, there are still instances where certain apps do not fully support this feature. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to force dark mode on unsupported apps .


You can enforce dark mode on nearly any Android smartphone that inherently supports this feature. This capability extends to older Android phones, provided they are running Android 10 or a newer version.

There are two methods to enable dark mode on unsupported apps. The first method is straightforward, while the second method requires accessing developer options. Keep in mind that enabling developer options may affect the functionality of certain banking apps.


To activate dark mode on an Android phone , navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Vision enhancement, then select the high contrast theme and apply it. For further customization, enable the high-contrast font option as well.

Developer options can be unlocked by tapping the build number five times under the "about phone" section. Once developer options are accessible, navigate to "Hardware accelerated rendering" and enable "override force dark." This will enforce dark mode throughout the user interface, including within apps.


However, be aware that enabling these options may cause certain apps to appear visually inconsistent, especially those that have not been optimized for dark mode.

By adjusting these settings on your Android device, you can force dark mode across the entire system, including within apps.
