How to turn on dark mode in Google Maps

Note: To use dark mode on any device, you'll need to be running at least $4 or $4 or newer.

First, open the Google Maps app and tap your profile picture in the top-right corner, and then tap Settings.

Now, depending on what kind of phone you have:

• If you have an iPhone, tap Dark Mode and set it to On, or set it to Same as device setting $4.

• If you have an Android, tap Theme and then Always in dark theme, or Same as device theme $4.

If you don't see these menus and options appear, try closing the app and turning on your phone's system-wide dark mode, then try again.

There's also a chance that you'll see a menu appear when you open the app asking you which color scheme you want. Feel free to select dark mode from this menu to turn it on quickly.
