Google has recently added various new features to its AI-based chatbot, Bard. The Dark mode feature is amongst them. With dark mode, users can access Bard in low-light conditions without dealing with the harsh white screen light on their devices. It also protects the eyes from straining and saves the device’s battery.
The dark mode feature is available for all Google Bard users. However, you need to enable and disable the dark theme from the menu manually. This post explains the detailed steps to enable dark mode in Google Bard on various devices.
How to Use Dark Mode in Bard
Google has designed Bard to adopt the current theme of your device. That means Bard will, by default, appear according to your theme’s appearance. You can switch to dark mode and set it as a default by modifying it from the settings.
The following section describes how you can switch to Dark mode on your computer, Android mobile device, and iPad or iPhone.
