When should I use dark and light modes in mobile apps?

The mobile apps allow you to swap the standard color scheme from a light background to a dark background. Benefits of each mode are listed below.

Dark Mode Benefits

• Reduced Eye Strain in Low Light: Dark mode is easier on the eyes in low-light conditions because it makes nighttime reading easier, reduces eye strain and dry eyes, and can help you focus your eyes longer.

• Increased Battery Life: Dark mode can save battery life on your devices, because it significantly reduces power consumption on some devices.

• Better Sleep: Dark mode emits less blue light; and, reducing exposure to bright screens, especially in the evenings, can help improve your sleep quality.

Light Mode Benefits

• Reduced Eye Strain in Bright Light: Light mode generally works better in bright-light conditions because dark text on a white background is generally easier to read in the daylight.

• Better Color Accuracy: Light mode displays colors more vibrantly and accurately on your devices.

• Familiarity and Preference: Light mode is more visually appealing to some users as they find it easier to use during the day since it resembles daylight conditions.
