can't get Google into dark mode

[adegbenroagoro]

Yeah earlier I just downloaded something called Google beta from the play store and clearly that wasn't it. I had to apply, be accepted and then an update was immediately available for me

Tbh I rarely use the app since the search engine in my Samsung internet browser is Google anyway. I just like having everything with a dark theme.

KIDS, it's simple. You can't activate dark mode for everything UNLESS you stop using a packaged theme! You can find the individual components OF the theme, but if you use the complete packaged theme, Samsung locks out the light/dark choice automatically!

That's the whole problem, right there. Install the needed bits individually and it's fine.

MOTHER !!! You're speaking a language or dialect I'm yet to learn. What are these "bits" you kept on referring to ?

The wallpaper, icons and fonts. You need to put those in separately. Using a theme does all of that in one package. Once you do that, it'll unlock the phone dark mode. Switch that and Google will do the rest.

So at one time a few months back I tried and tried to put Google into dark mode. Even though I have my note 9 theme in dark mode, I couldn't get Google feed into dark. So randomly about 2 months ago I woke up, looked at my phone and magically Google was in dark mode. I was in disbelief, no idea how that happened. It lasted a while and all of a sudden about a week ago it went back to all white? Wth?! Ive tried everything. Nothing has changed. Why would it randomly change like that?? So frustrating. It's just that I have time now that I'm stuck at home, I'm trying to figure this out

Great news for you. It's now available.
