How to Enable Dark Mode in YouTube (2024 Guide)


If you prefer keeping your phone in light mode during the day, it works well for most situations. However, if you find the brightness of light mode too intense when binge-watching YouTube videos at night, switching to dark mode might be more comfortable. You can easily enable dark mode on the YouTube app for both Android and iOS devices, as well as on the web. If you’re unsure how to do it, here’s a detailed guide on enabling dark mode on YouTube.

  • Next, tap on the Settings cogwheel icon at the top right, and then select “General.”

  • When in General, tap on Appearance and select Dark theme from here.

Enabling dark mode for your YouTube mobile app is now complete. On the web, the process is even simpler and requires just a couple of clicks. Let’s move on to the next section.
