This app will completely change your phone by bringing the best features of iOS to your Android phone.
Android has a lot of useful features that iOS hasn't had in years, but one feature that Apple phones still don't have is automatic night mode. Not the kind that lets you set a timer for when to turn it on and off, but the kind that turns on and off by itself at sunrise and sunset.
This is an important feature that helps prevent eye strain. It may seem strange, but Google still doesn't have a similar feature in Android, and it's not likely to be added in future updates. Fortunately, there is a way to give Android phones a better night mode than iOS, thanks to an app.
This app, called "Adaptive Theme," is available for free on the Google Play Store. It allows you to switch between dark and light modes based on specific conditions, bypassing the built-in scheduling option on Android phones. In fact, one of the best features of "Adaptive Theme" is the ability to set dark mode to activate when your phone detects low light.
For example, if you're outside and it starts to get dark, the app can use ambient light sensors to detect the amount of light around you and automatically activate night mode. The same applies if you enter a movie theater or if you're in your bedroom and turn off the light but continue using your phone.
How to activate and use Adaptive Themes on your Android device
The Adaptive Theme app for Android, as we emphasize, is free and extremely easy to use. To use the app, simply follow these steps:
First, enable Developer Options on your phone. To do this, go to Settings > About phone > Build number. Then tap the Build number seven times to enable Developer Options.
Second, go to Settings > System > Developer options and enable USB debugging.
Finally, download the Adaptive Theme app on your Android device from the Google Play Store and follow the steps to grant the necessary permissions. Since Android doesn't allow apps to grant themselves permissions, you'll need an additional device. You can use a friend's phone connected to a USB-C port to proceed.
After completing these steps, you can activate the adaptive theme and adjust the lighting level to your liking. When your Android phone's ambient light sensor reaches this level, dark mode will automatically activate. However, remember that dark mode only activates when your device is unlocked.
