Google is working on a new feature for Android 16 that automatically puts apps into dark mode, even if they don't support it.

TL;DR

  • Android may add a new feature that automatically converts light theme apps to dark theme.
  • The evidence for this comes from a new “make more apps dark” toggle that I spotted in the first Android 16 beta release.
  • Google has been working on this feature since last year, so it’s unclear when it may launch.
