It’d be really nice to have the option to view your messages in a more forgiving tone, with many apps starting to implement dark themes into their apps. In fact, Android 10 has just been officially launched with Dark Mode integrated into the new operating system.

Now, to apply the “Dark” theme to all the apps, you will need to enable the ‘Developer Options’. Head to the “About Phone” tab in Settings and then tap on “Build Number” seven times.
