Dark Mode is a useful feature on the Samsung Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra that helps reduce eye strain and save battery life. Whether you prefer the sleek look of Dark Mode or want to switch back to Light Mode, this guide will walk you through the steps to enable or disable it easily.
Dark Mode changes the appearance of your phone’s interface, making backgrounds black or dark gray instead of bright white.
This can help reduce glare in low-light environments and conserve battery life, especially on AMOLED screens like those found on the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra.
