Until this week, though, DarQ required root, making it only useful to those who are willing to modify their phone in potentially unsafe ways. To counteract this, the indie app “DarQ” was created to automatically toggle force-dark on and off depending on which app you’re using. However, if an app is already dark, the opposite happens, making the app very bright.Īs more apps have gained native dark modes, the long-term usefulness of “Override force-dark” has worn thin, as more apps look worse instead of better with the toggle enabled. In the Android 10 Developer Settings, a new option was added called “Override force-dark” which essentially inverts the color scheme of your phone’s apps to go from being bright with dark text to dark with bright text. With a little help from a third-party app, DarQ, you can now change specific apps to use dark mode - and even schedule dark mode to be enabled - without needing root. While not every app has a dark mode, Android 10 has a way to force apps to be dark.

Arguably, the best feature of Android 10 is its dark mode toggle, allowing you to swap your phone and its apps over to a newer, darker theme.
