iPhone 11 Pro Do you use dark mode on your iPhone during the day or have it transition with sunset?

Dark mode, all day everyday. My eyes will thank me later 😉

Once you go black you never go back

Those of you who do all the time - do you use maps - I find I really can't read/use maps when my phone is in dark mode.

I’m able to use Apple Maps and Waze with no issues using dark mode all day.

Dark all the time.

Thanks to how bright this screen gets it’s still great even in the sun.

Right now mines set to transition but was thinking about going dark all day

I use the automatic transition. It's set from 07:30 am - 06:30 pm to Light and between 06:30 pm - 07:30 am to Dark. It's a nice change and it does change automatically as expected without any issue. I also use the True Tone feature 24/7, also very nice. And between 08:30 pm - 06:30 am Night Shift is enabled, Do Not Disturb is enabled from 11 pm to 06:30 am. Works for me.

Dark mode NONE of the time for me.

24/7. Dark mode saves on battery life in a huge way.

 

[AustinIllini]

I use dark on iPhone, dark on iPad, and sunrise/sunset on Catalina.

Dark mode all day every day it’s the only way...

 

[thomamon]

Went from not liking it, to automation, to now on all the time. Love it and the fact that it saves battery is a bonus!

 

[TheSkywalker77]

If it's ridiculously bright out I'll switch to light mode, but other than that it's in dark mode all the time.

By then, it was nothing to me but blinding! -Bane

Unlike others, I have not adopted the dark. Light mode all the time.

Ahh the force is strong with this one. Search your feelings. Yes! I feel your hatred! Use your anger! Join us in the dark side and we will rule the battery saving life...by struggling to see in the sunlight!

Dark mode all the day

 

[MacDevil7334]

Dark all the time. I find it easier on the eyes and think apps like messages and music look really slick in dark mode. The battery savings are a nice bonus. I added the toggle to the top level of control center so I can easily switch to light mode if I’m out in bright sun and having a hard time seeing the screen.

 

[Antares23]

I personally use Dark mode everywhere, on my iPhone, on my MacBook Pro or on my Hackintosh, even during the day, I think it looks better and it's easier on the eyes

 

[m0sher]

Come to the dark side. We have cookies.

24/7 for me.

Couldn’t resist




Makes for a great Lock Screen.

 

[jeyf]

i use dark mode all the time
while in dark mode wish they kept the text a lite color against the black screen. Colors like dark green, red, blue are difficult.

cant have eerything
go figure worked well in the lab

If you’re using Dark Mode under high ambient lighting the difference can be astronomical. Check this out from DisplayMate’s testing. “An additional bonus is that switching to a Black Background will in most cases significantly reduce the battery power used by the OLED display. For example, for the Calendar application, at the Maximum Brightness setting, switching to the Dark Mode from the Light Mode reduces the Display Power from 4.2 watts down to 0.2 watts, which will significantly increase the Running Time on Battery.”

When I see a white screen now, it's blinding.

Dark Mode FTW

 

[jagolden]

I have it on all the time. Find it easier on my eyes. They are sensitive to light, I even run my screen brightness at ~33%.

 

[Dormammu]

I want to use Dark Mode all the time, but it’s difficult to go from dark to white and back (many of my regularly used apps do no support a dark mode).

 

[Stuart6]

No, I use dark more all day, everyday. Aside from reducing eye strain and looking sleek, dark mode on OLED displays help with battery, so it's a must for me to keep it on.

 

[bluecoast]

I have it set for sunset to sunrise. But I also override it, depending on the weather. Today for instance...it's cloudy and dark. So I switched to dark mode. If it was bright and sunny, I'd leave it to go automatically.

This ^

At first, while beta testing iOS13, I had it set to transition to dark mode at 8:00 PM and revert to day mode at 7:00 AM. Now, I’ve fully turned to the Dark Side, 24/7. I love it!
