Google play dark mode settings explained; Learn how to 'go dark' on Play Store

After Gmail, Google is now rolling out the dark mode for Google Play Store this week. Smartphone users with Android 9 and Android 10 will be able to use this feature. This means one can choose to use Dark theme on their Google Play store by changing the settings in the app. After changing the settings, the app will be forced to go dark beside the theme that the smartphone has for other apps. 

If you are unable to understand how to change the theme from light mode to enable Google Play dark mode,  you can follow these simple steps to change Google Play settings:

• Open the Google Play Store app.
• Tap 'Menu icon' (the three-stacked line in the left of the search bar)
• Scroll down and tap 'Settings.'
  

   

• Then tap on 'Theme.'
  

   

• Tap the option you want between 'Light' or 'Dark' mode and the app interface will change the theme accordingly. The third option (“Set by Battery Saver” on Android 9 or “System default” on Android 10) will interchange the theme based on the smartphone’s current settings.
