Dark Theme for Google Photos

How do you turn on the dark theme for Google Photos? I had it on my previous device running Android 6 Marshmallow, but can't seem to find it for Android 9 Pie...

On my pixels and Samsung phones once you enabled dark theme it automatically puts Google photos dark.

Where? I'm on a Nokia 7.1 part of the Android One programme, and when I check the Photos app there is no Dark Theme toggle I can enable...or anything similar. Got the Dark Theme for the Calendar, Clock and Calculator, but not Google Play, Documents/Files or Photos...

On the Nokia if it's not on pie you'll probably have to wait until Google enables this . Dark theme in the 2 phones I'm talking about but both devices pie , is in settings then display .

I got the "Night Light" feature, which kinda dims the screen overall (more of a night reading light) and there is something in the Display section called "Device Theme" which has "Light", "Dark" and "Automatic" (Based on wallpaper)... I have no clue what that is for...LOL... but I don't think it's to enable the dark theme system wide...

Oh and my Nokia is on Pie...it was right out of the box...

So how is working?

Good so far. I really don't make that much use of that app. I just updated it and when I opened it there was a note saying "Turn On Dark Theme".

But as I've said I don't use the app too much.
