Dark mode is becoming fashionable. More and more applications allow us to choose whether we want to see the background in light colors or in black.
And Google was one of the first companies to offer this feature. However, there is one that has resisted for a long time: the Google Play Store. But finally it seems that we can choose the color of the background in the app store to make it to our liking.
Dark mode now available in the Google Play Store
A way that has been waiting
Many users have been asking for dark mode to be implemented in the Google Play Store for months. But it seemed like it was something that was resisting.
The main reason is that the app store is not really Google's most used app. Also, most users keep it open only for the short amount of time it takes to download an app, so changing its appearance didn't seem like a priority.

However, there were many users who were wishing that, like most Google apps, the dark color would also be added to the app store. And Google has decided to heed the demands and has already launched the dark mode, which is becoming a trend.
How to put the Google Play Store in dark mode
As in most applications, using the dark mode in the Google Play Store is a fairly simple process. You just have to follow these steps:
- Enter the Google Play Store.
- Press the three lines in the upper left corner to access the menu
- Go to Settings
- Click on Theme
- You can choose between System Default, Light or Dark
If you want to do the reverse process, that is, put the light mode, you will have to do the same process. System Default will also go into dark mode if you have dark mode turned on for Android.
Advantages of using dark mode on Google Play
One of the main advantages of using dark mode in the Google Play Store or in any other application is that it is less harmful to the eyes. The brighter the screen of a device, the more effort we have to make with our eyes, so it is preferable to use a slightly darker screen.
Also, dark mode can also come in very handy to save some battery life. And it is that, the greater the brightness that we can find on our screen, the greater the amount of energy necessary to keep it on. Therefore, the moment we start to use the dark mode we will be able to appreciate how the mobile lasts a little longer with each charge, with the consequent comfort.
