You can get a dark mode theme on your Apple Music app on iOS and Android devices.
On Android devices, you put Apple Music into dark mode straight through the app's theme settings.
On iOS devices running iOS 13 or later, you'll have to switch the entire device's settings to dark mode.
When you put your Apple Music app in dark mode, you can reduce eye strain and preserve your night vision.

Listening to music, a podcast, or a favorite radio station can help you relax or drift off to sleep, but that bright phone screen can wake you right back up. Your music might also make travel more enjoyable, but that same bright screen could disturb fellow passengers.

The easy solution to all this is to put Apple Music in dark mode, which can be done on both iPhones or Android devices with the Apple Music app. With iOS devices, you will need to put your entire phone in dark mode to use Apple Music in dark mode, while Android devices can isolate the setting to the app.

Not every version of an iPhone or Android will label this dark mode or have it available (you'll need iOS 13 or later on an iPhone, for instance), so you'll need to check your phone's specs to be sure.
