Automatic night mode?

Is there a way to activate the browser’s night mode automatically at sunset and disable it at dawn (kind of what iOS does)?

Thanks.

@migsyboy,
If you set the browser theme settings to Automatic, it should reflect whichever mode the iOS system is in.

Thanks, but that’s the appearance of the app and not the content, right?

I have that setting on automatic, but that does not change the content to Night mode.

This is a website today at 8pm (white background):

Same website at 10pm (still white background):

Same website when I turn Night mode on (dark background):

Of course I have Automatic also set at the os level:

Do you know what I mean?

Thanks

So is there not a way to set Night Mode automatically?

This is such a simple feature, yet it would be such a game changer. Night mode is already present, it just has to sync like the app theme. Please implement this!

Have you tried this option in chrome flags? It should automatically enable dark mode for all websites based on the actual theme in your phone.

I cannot see that flag in iOS (or in MacOS tbh)

I cannot find that flag in the iOS version.

On iOS, open the main menu, then scroll down until you see Night mode — toggle it “on”:

Hey, thanks for your reply.

If you read the whole thread, you will see that the question was not how to enable the night mode (we do know how to do it), but whether the night mode could be automatically enabled based on the iOS configuration.

On this note, I will like to let you know of a much more pressing issue, which is that since 2 iOS app updates ago, the night mode is completely broken. There’s a bug report already opened, but today there was an app update and I was hoping it was going to include a fix. A working night mode is very important, basic I should say.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

But in the meantime, can the following issue with the night mode be fixed?

It’s been almost 2 weeks since the night mode broke. It’s a basic feature that should just work.

Thank you.
