I haven’t seen any evidence that anyone has actually received it yet. — Ben Collins (@shaolin108) October 18, 2019 Do any #iOS users have dark mode with @gmail? Their twitter response is the same (rolling out gradually) when anyone asks when it’s coming. Articles I saw said we should all see it within 15 days. That was 20 days ago. So I’m genuinely curious if anyone on iOS has it. — JeRD (@_JeRD_) October 15, 2019
