This increasingly popular setting can significantly improve your viewing experience by reducing eye strain and enhancing readability in various lighting conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The YouTube dark theme provides several benefits for users. It reduces eye strain by replacing the bright white background with a dark or black background, making it more comfortable to view videos for extended periods, especially in low-light environments. The high contrast of the dark theme improves the visibility and readability of text and interface elements, enhancing navigation and making it easier to locate controls and buttons. Enabling the dark theme can also lead to energy efficiency and battery savings, particularly on devices with OLED or AMOLED screens. It offers an aesthetically pleasing and immersive experience, with videos and thumbnails standing out prominently against the dark background.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_2bd206-91 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image_2bd206-91 img.kb-img, .kb-image_2bd206-91 .kb-img img{border-top-left-radius:23px;border-top-right-radius:23px;border-bottom-right-radius:23px;border-bottom-left-radius:23px;box-shadow:0px 0px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);filter:drop-shadow(0px 0px 14px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2));}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_2bd206-91\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/wallblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Dark-Theme.png\" alt=\"YouTube Dark Theme\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-2547\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wallblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Dark-Theme.png 1024w, https:\/\/wallblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Dark-Theme-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/wallblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Dark-Theme-768x525.png 768w, https:\/\/wallblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YouTube-Dark-Theme-650x444.png 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);background-color:rgba(49,130,206,0.09);border-top:1px solid #0693e3;border-right:1px solid #0693e3;border-bottom:1px solid #0693e3;border-left:1px solid #0693e3;border-top-left-radius:10px;border-top-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:10px;border-bottom-left-radius:10px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-basiccircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-basiccircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-arrowcircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-arrowcircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-xclosecircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-xclosecircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before{background-color:rgba(49,130,206,0.09);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap{border-top:1px solid #0693e3;border-right:1px solid #0693e3;border-bottom:1px solid #0693e3;border-left:1px solid #0693e3;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b45d4e-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap{border-top:1px solid #0693e3;border-right:1px solid #0693e3;border-bottom:1px solid #0693e3;border-left:1px solid #0693e3;}}<\/style>\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_76b048-30, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_76b048-30[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_76b048-30\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_76b048-30 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_76b048-30[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_76b048-30\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_76b048-30 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_76b048-30\"><strong>YouTube Dark Theme on iPhone and iPad<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The official iOS YouTube app allows users to enable and disable dark mode on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

This feature reduces blue light emission by adjusting the color temperature of your screen during specified hours or based on sunset\/sunrise timings in your location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You need to enable The YouTube Dark Theme settings separately on each iPhone or iPad that you use for watching videos. Also, keep in mind that this feature is available only within the official YouTube app and is not applicable when accessing via Safari or other web browsers installed on your iOS devices.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_14ac13-6e, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_14ac13-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_14ac13-6e\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_14ac13-6e mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_14ac13-6e[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_14ac13-6e\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_14ac13-6e wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_14ac13-6e\"><strong>Enabling YouTube&#8217;s Dark Theme on Android Devices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The YouTube Dark Theme is available on the official YouTube app for Android smartphones and tablets. By enabling this option, users can switch from the default white background to a darker one that reduces glare and eye fatigue during extended periods of use or nighttime browsing sessions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Turn the Dark Theme On\/Off in Android Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Open your YouTube app on your Android device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap the profile image situated in the upper-right corner of the display.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select &#8220;Settings&#8221; from the profile icon&#8217;s dropdown menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Settings, tap &#8220;General.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should see an option called &#8220;Appearance.&#8221; Tap it to reveal two options: Light theme (default) and Dark theme. Choose either one according to your preference by tapping it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> These steps may vary slightly depending on which version of YouTube you are using. However, they should generally work for most users with updated versions of both their devices&#8217; operating systems and apps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t see an Appearance setting under General, make sure you have updated your YouTube app through Google Play Store or check if there&#8217;s any pending update available for download\/installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Customizing Appearance Preferences Within The App<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond simply switching between light and dark themes, some users might want additional customization options. While there aren&#8217;t many built-in features specific to altering colors or fonts within YouTube itself, there are third-party apps and browser extensions that can help you further personalize your experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Turn Off the Lights is a popular app available for Android devices that allows users to dim everything on their screen except for video content, making it easier to focus on what they&#8217;re watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer using YouTube in a web browser, consider installing browser extensions like Super Dark Mode or Dark Reader, which offer more advanced customization options such as color inversion, contrast adjustments, and font changes. These tools work across several websites and platforms but may have varying levels of compatibility with different browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enabling YouTube&#8217;s dark theme or dark mode is a simple process that can help reduce eye strain and improve your viewing experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Activating YouTube&#8217;s Dark Mode Using Web Browsers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily activate Youtube&#8217;s dark theme using any web browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari while watching videos online via your computer. Your preference will be saved uniquely per each browser you use, ensuring a smooth user experience across multiple platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enabling dark mode through account settings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable the YouTube Dark Theme on your preferred internet browser, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Navigate to the official YouTube website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sign in to your Google account if you haven&#8217;t already done so.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the top-right corner of the screen, locate and click on your profile picture or icon. If you haven&#8217;t set up a profile picture yet, it might appear as a generic silhouette.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select &#8220;Appearance: Device theme&#8221; from the drop-down menu that appears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In this section, choose between &#8220;Light,&#8221; &#8220;Dark,&#8221; or &#8220;Use device theme.&#8221; The latter option automatically adjusts based on your device&#8217;s current display settings. Clicking on either Light or Dark will apply that specific setting regardless of other factors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Managing cookies\/cache data for persistent theme selection<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your chosen YouTube Dark Theme preferences remain unique to each browser you use on your computer. However, clearing cookies and cache data may reset these settings to default values. To avoid this issue, consider managing your browser&#8217;s cookie and cache storage settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in Chrome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>From the top-right corner of the window, click on the three-dot menu icon to access &#8220;Settings&#8221; from the drop down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select &#8220;Settings&#8221; from the drop-down menu that appears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll down to find &#8220;Privacy and security,&#8221; then click on &#8220;Cookies and other site data.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In this section, you can choose how Chrome handles cookies by selecting options like &#8220;Allow all cookies,&#8221; &#8220;Block third-party cookies,&#8221; or &#8220;Block all cookies (not recommended).&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:&nbsp;<\/strong>Blocking all cookies might affect certain website functionalities, including YouTube Dark Theme preferences.

These benefits range from reduced blue light exposure to improved accessibility for individuals who have visual impairments like photophobia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Improved Battery Life Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube Dark Theme improves battery life performance on devices with OLED screens. Since these screens only illuminate individual pixels when needed, a darker background requires less power consumption compared to a bright white one.
