How To Switch Dark Mode On YouTube?

To enable Dark Mode on YouTube, follow these steps depending on whether you're using a web browser or the mobile app:

Web Browser (Desktop):

  1. Go to youtube.com and log in to your account.
  2. Click on your profile icon located in the top right corner.
  3. In the dropdown menu, select Appearance (next to a crescent moon icon).
  4. Choose either Dark theme, Light theme, or Use device theme which conforms to your operating system's theme settings.

Mobile App (Android & iOS):

  1. Open the YouTube app.
  2. Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner.
  3. Navigate to Settings > General.
  4. Find the Dark theme toggle and switch it on. For Android 10+ users, an additional step may require tapping Appearance before selecting the desired theme.

Remember that enabling Dark Mode reduces glare and provides a visually comfortable viewing experience, particularly during evening hours.
