Dark mode has long been the norm for a large number of users. In 2022, this mode is still very popular, which encourages more and more different companies to add a dark theme to their apps. Google Docs is far from being an exception, and there is such an option for the mobile app.

The dark mode is so popular because of certain features. For example, it has long been known that dark mode is much more energy-efficient than normal light mode. This is due to the fact that the most energy-consuming color pixel screen is white.
However, this rule applies only to OLED displays. If we are talking about LCD displays, it doesn’t matter what color the pixels are and there’s no change in power consumption.
Another argument in favor of night mode is that it reduces the strain on the eyes, especially at night. For example, if you turn on the phone screen at night in a light subject, you will be blinded, but this won’t happen in night mode.
