It's hard to talk about news aggregator without talking about the Google news and weather app. This tool has become in the space of a few years the benchmark for all those who wish to stay informed in real time. Like many users, do you think you know everything about how the Google info app works? No doubt this tutorial may surprise you..
Activate Google News & Weather Dark Theme
I will not tell you anything by telling you that the backlit screens of smartphones but also of tablets are not particularly suitable for long reading sessions. Things get even more complicated when you are in a room without light.
Indeed, most smartphones do not have settings suitable for reading in low light conditions. Reading articles at night requires optimal contrasts. Obviously nothing prevents you from installing an application that can further reduce the minimum brightness of your device..
But why overload the memory of your phone, when Google News and Weather has a dark theme. This function reverses the colors (white text on a dark background) to reduce eye strain.
- Download the Google News app from the Play Store by clicking on this link
- Once installed on your device, launch the Google info app
- Press the option button
- Click the Go to Dark Theme button
To return to normal mode, simply follow the same procedure.
