This is the new dark mode of the Google Play Store
Gmail, Google Drive, and even the Google Assistant have already made the leap to the dark side. To dark mode, I mean. That type of style that is becoming more than just fashion and that polarizes the design that we have always enjoyed in the applications and menus on our mobiles. Now it is the Google Play Store itself, the Google application store, which begins to show a new look that is more contrasted, more efficient and, above all, more comfortable when viewing it on the screen of our mobile.The Google Play Store turns dark.
It does, at least, for those who have updated this app store to its version 16.7.21 Something you can check directly from the Settings menu of this tool. Of course, as usual, Google launches this update from its servers. You can install the latest version from the Google Play Store via the APKMirror repository, but this won't make you run into dark mode sooner. The change depends solely on Google's servers, and is rolling out progressively. So be patient. In addition, it is necessary that you have Android 10 installed on your mobile and the Dark Mode function active on it.
As you would expect, this dark mode changes the white background of the Google Play Store to a dark grey.The change is resounding, but the experience remains the same. The texts now appear in white, and the Material Theme philosophy of excluding all kinds of lines, buttons and marks that are not necessary is maintained. This means that all elements such as application names, section labels or icons appear directly on the almost black dark gray background. There are no additions or changes when switching to dark mode.
Even so, this change is still surprising. It's easy to feel like something really new when the experience remains the same. And it is that the contrast added by changing the bright and clean white for the efficient and elegant black, makes things look different. Specifically, in a more comfortable view No glare when you look at the screen in a dark environment, or with glare from white pixels that make you squint .
In addition, you already know that dark mode promises to improve the efficiency of your mobile. That is, try to rush your battery charge a little more time. Less brightness, less intensity and a more responsible consumption of the panel of your mobile. Although this will only be enjoyed by those who have a panel with OLED technology So the dark mode part falls, above all, on comfort when browsing for these contents, although with some impact on the battery.
