How To Turn-On Dark Mode in Gmail For Web – Guide
Google’s free email service, Gmail, allows users to access email over the Internet and use third-party programs that sync email content via POP or IMAP protocols. The beta version of Gmail was released on April 1, 2004 and ended its testing phase on July 7, 2009. At first, Gmail’s biggest advantage was its initial storage capacity of 1 GB per user. Today, Gmail has 15GB of storage and users can receive emails up to 50 MB in size (including attachments).
Gmail is a great email service that dominates this part of Internet life. It’s free, reliable, intuitive, and makes you even more productive. However, there is one thing that Gmail is missing today – the dark mode option. Dark mode can reduce eye strain, allow you to be more productive, and most importantly, provide another layer of eye protection.
Email is one of those online activities that can literally take up half of our day. That’s why better email management is a good starting point for minimizing daily eye strain. By managing your email more effectively, you can reduce the amount of time you spend on email and improve your overall productivity.
How to enable dark mode in Gmail for the web
Open Gmail in a web browser and type the following into the address bar: https://mail.google.com/mail/web/bin/send?q=gmail&oe=UTF-8
In the “Settings” screen, select “Privacy.”
Next to Theme, select View All.
Scroll down and select the Dark theme to see a more dark and sinister look.
Final note
If you’re using Gmail on your computer and want to turn on dark mode, here’s how:
- Open the Gmail app and sign in.
