Google has added a new feature to its Gemini app that helps reduce eye strain at night. The update lets users schedule dark theme to turn on automatically during evening hours. This change makes it easier to use the app in low light without discomfort.

Many people use their phones late at night. Bright screens can cause eye fatigue and disrupt sleep. Google’s new scheduling option addresses this by switching to a darker interface when it gets dark outside. Users can set specific times for dark mode to activate or let the app follow local sunset and sunrise times.
The feature is now live for all Gemini users on Android and iOS. It builds on Google’s ongoing efforts to improve digital well-being. Dark theme reduces blue light exposure and makes text easier to read in dim settings. This small adjustment can make a big difference for frequent nighttime users.
Setting up the schedule takes just a few taps. Open the Gemini app, go to settings, and choose display preferences. From there, pick automatic dark theme and select your preferred timing. The app handles the rest without needing daily input.
Google says this update responds to user feedback about screen comfort after dark. Testing showed that scheduled dark mode led to fewer reports of eye strain. The company plans to bring similar features to other services in the future.

This move aligns with broader industry trends. More apps now offer adaptive interfaces that respond to time of day or lighting conditions. Google’s implementation focuses on simplicity and ease of use. No extra downloads or complex setups are needed. The feature works right out of the box for anyone using the latest version of Gemini.
