How to activate the dark mode of Google Maps on your iPhone

El dark mode has come to stay. There are several operating systems that already have one of these appearances and all apps over time adapt their designs. Many use it because they prefer those colors for pleasure, others prefer it because it bothers their eyes less. It does not matter why, but whether we can decide to change it or not. One of the apps that took the longest to receive dark mode is Google Maps which he did last August. Here we tell you how to activate dark mode in one of the most used navigation apps in the world: Google Maps.

This is how the dark mode of Google Maps is activated on your device

Are you experiencing screen fatigue or want to customize your application? You're in luck: dark mode in Google Maps for iOS will start rolling out in the coming weeks so you can give your eyes a break or save battery life. To activate it, go to Settings, tap on dark mode, and then select 'On'.

This was the statement issued by Google Maps in mid-August announcing the arrival of dark mode to iOS. This dark mode allowed the application to be adapted in dark tones so that the contrast was lower between day and night. There are also many users who prefer this design because it is less annoying to the eye regardless of the time of day they are.

To activate it, just follow the instructions below:

• Enter the Google Maps app
• Select your profile image and click on "Settings"
• Look for "Dark Mode" under "Other Maps Settings"

Within this section we can choose whether the dark mode is activated, it is deactivated or it is modified depending on the mode we have in iOS. If you have this last function activated, remember that you can quickly switch between light and dark modes by holding down the brightness menu in the Control Center.

In case none of these settings appear, make sure that you have the latest version of Google Maps installed. If so, proceed to reboot the device. And if you still don't see the settings, try logging out of your Google account and logging in again.
