![]() ![]() Uber and Lyft, two of the most popular ride-sharing apps around, are in the same boat as Google Maps and CityMapper. Unfortunately, it only changes the color scheme when you're using the app to navigate somewhere.ĬityMapper, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't even have that. You can go into the navigation tab in the app's settings and set the color scheme to "Night," which would ideally make all of Google Maps dark and beautiful. To its credit, Google Maps sort of has a solution for this. If it's dark outside and you open an app like Google Maps or CityMapper to help find your way, you might be blinded by their naturally bright color schemes. You need to get somewhere and you're not sure how. Credit: alex perry/mashableĮveryone knows the feeling. We get that white has always been a big part of Facebook's color scheme, but it's time for Mark Zuckerberg's app to get in line.ĬityMapper could use a dark mode makeover. You know Facebook, the massive social network with billions (yes, plural billions) of users? Well, those users are forced to look at scorching brightness whenever they open the Facebook mobile app. Let's get maybe the biggest one out of the way, not just because it's popular but because this story has a happy ending. These are the apps that need to embrace the darkness. Some apps hopped on the train early the iOS App Store has a whole section for dark mode apps, and Gmail started rolling it out this week.īut there are still a handful of big-name apps stubbornly holding onto a time when we believed in the light. The system-level dark mode Apple included is gorgeous and makes native iPhone apps like Messages, Podcasts, and more look way better. We love white text on dark backgrounds, maybe because it reduces eye strain or maybe because of the darkness in our souls.Įither way, Apple did us a solid when it released iOS 13 last week. I'm talking, of course, about dark mode evangelists. The last week or so has been a real blessing for people like me. ![]()
