Dark Mode has become a popular feature on modern smartphones. It reduces eye strain, saves battery life on OLED screens, and gives your phone a modern, sleek look. Motorola devices running Hello UI fully support Dark Mode, and it can be applied system-wide or to specific apps.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to enable, schedule, and customize Dark Mode on your Motorola phone with Hello UI.

1. What is Dark Mode?

Dark Mode changes the phone’s interface from a light theme to a darker theme, affecting:

System menus
