Google says that it wants to give search app users more options to customize their Search experience, and when ‌Dark Mode‌ is enabled on Android 10 and iOS 13, the Search app will be displayed in ‌Dark Mode‌. The same goes for Light Mode, with the feature following the overall system settings.

‌Dark Mode‌ can also be enabled or disabled using the Google app settings on iOS and Android, which enables ‌Dark Mode‌ for iOS 12 users as well as iOS 13 users.

Dark mode is rolling out on Tuesday, and Google says that it will be available to everyone throughout the week.

Incoming another “release” that will take Google doing a phase roll out on their backend for almost a year. Good to see all those billions of dollars working hard. Thanks Google.

There is a trick to enable it.Try force quitting the gmail app about 4 times on the trot with dark mode enabled on your iPhone.It worked for me and once you’ve got it,it stays.Reply to this message if it works for you.
I just tried it and it worked... thanks I don’t use the gmail app, but it will be nice on the rare occasions that I do
