Last year in May, YouTube rolled out the Dark Mode (well, Dark Theme, to be accurate) for its desktop site. And then in March this year, YouTube rolled out Dark Mode for mobile apps too, but, it was initially only available for iOS. However, earlier this month, YouTube finally rolled out the Dark Mode for all Android users. And, if you happen to be someone who doesn’t know how to turn on Dark Mode on YouTube for Android, we’ve got your back.

As soon as you turn on Dark Mode on YouTube for Android, all the app’s UI elements turn from white to black in color. And, those elements that are black turn white (or sometimes grey-ish) in color. That said, what are the benefits of turning on Dark Mode on YouTube for Android? Well, turning on the Dark Mode primarily has two benefits: First, it reduces strain to your eyes when you are using the YouTube app in low-light, or at night in total darkness. And second, it helps conserve battery on devices that have AMOLED display.
