According to a new reportIt seems that Google works again on a feature that could force all the applications to become dark, even if they do not have a integrated dark theme. This is excellent news for people who prefer dark themes, which can be easier for the eyes, especially at night.
This is not the first time that we have heard of this functionality. He was first spotted Android 15, but he never reached the stable version. However, he reappeared in the current code Android 16 beta 1 which dropped last week. The fact that he is always in development, at this stage, suggests that Google is serious at the idea of doing so.
The functionality, called “Make More Apps Dark”, was recently spotted in Android 16 Beta 1, hidden in the settings> Display and touch> Theme Dark, and it works by automatically converting applications on the theme of light to dark theme . This iteration is different from the existing “Override Force-Dark” rocking in the developer options of most Android devices. This switch to the colors of an application simply, which can sometimes lead to display problems. The “Make More Apps Dark” feature, on the other hand, seems to use a smarter method to choose the elements to change.

This news has, of course, made many Android users. It seems that people want a universal black fashion option for a long time, and Google could finally deliver. However, on the developer side, who are still concerned that forcing a dark theme on applications that were not designed for this could lead to unexpected display problems or conflicts with their planned design aesthetics. It will be interesting to see how Google responds to these concerns, if they decide to move forward with functionality.
We still do not know when or if this feature will be launched, but it is possible that Google can deploy it in the next stable version of Android 16. If this is the case, this could be a major advantage for users who prefer Dark themes. I know that I definitely keep my eye on it, because I think it would make my phone much more comfortable using the night.
