Samsung is taking a significant step to cater to users’ love for dark mode by introducing a compelling feature in its upcoming OneUI 6 update.
Dark mode has become a favorite among Android users, allowing for a more visually comfortable experience. Samsung initially introduced dark mode with its OneUI skins, refining it over time. However, as dark mode gained popularity across other Android devices, users have become accustomed to having three options: bright mode, dark mode, and system default (matching the device’s system-wide dark mode settings).

The challenge has been that some apps lack the option to enable dark mode independently, meaning users had to rely on the system-wide setting for specific apps. To address this, Samsung is planning to introduce a feature that enables dark mode for applications in its upcoming OneUI 6 update.
This feature was recently spotted in the One UI 6 beta update for Galaxy S23 devices. However, it’s important to note that it’s still in development, and users currently have limited control over adding preferred apps to use dark mode.
At the moment, the dark mode for applications feature only appears to work with YouTube, allowing users to set a specific theme regardless of the global dark mode setting. While this is a promising development, it remains somewhat limited in its current state. It’s possible that Samsung will expand this functionality and allow users to select multiple apps for dark mode in the final version of One UI 6.
Overall, this move by Samsung aims to enhance the user experience by giving more control over dark mode settings for individual apps, catering to the diverse preferences of Android users. We can expect further refinements and improvements as OneUI 6 gets closer to its official release
