These days, practically every operating system and app gives users the choice to apply a dark mode theme, rendering light-colored text on a dark background. It’s easier on the eyes than the standard black-on-white look, especially if you’re using your device in the dark. We’ve known enthusiasts are big on dark mode for a long time now, but a recent Android Authority survey shows the option is actually overwhelmingly popular, at least among our readers.
In a survey we’ve been running since March, we asked readers how they use dark mode on their devices, if at all. There were choices for people who use dark mode at all times, users who switch back and forth between themes manually, those who have dark mode on a schedule, and people who don’t ever use dark mode. More than 3,000 people responded — and more than 70% of them are all dark mode, all the time.
