Looking online, I can see the steps where to enable this so that it has a dark mode. My 2XL, on December patch, and latest Google Maps build does not have the color scheme choice to turn dark mode on.
Anyone else have this issue? I cannot find it for the life of me.

Just tried it. Works fine for me.
The map remains white until you actually start navigating.

I actually don't have the choice to enable a dark mode. Cannot even get to the point of navigating to see if the dark mode works.
Settings > Navigation settings > Color Scheme....I don't have that choice.
Where are you finding it at?

Same as where the article states.
Probably a slow rollout just like all the other dark mode updates for the Google apps.
Don't get me wrong. Love the new update and love the new location settings. Specially as it is about time they brought it on par with iOS. But what is with the new dark mode. If you got the new dark mode everything should change right away. Why Gmail Google app and play store not turned dark yet. Why do we have to wait for more updates. This is where Samsung and I will say Huawei give them credit get things right.
We have to wait, coz not all apps are ready yet.
So, where's your problem? U run without dark mode since KitKat, so it can not be in such a hurry.
Apart from that it was already announced before the release that some apps still have to be optimized or revised so that the dark mode works 100%
Play store is dark themed for me, you can turn on force dark mode in developer options and it will try and theme almost anything, Gmail is still white. It will turn off on reboot though. You can also set accent color too.
There is no problem. I actually liking the new update. What would of been perfect if they could of released everything on the day of release. If Samsung could do it why not the creators of android. And thank you guys for the replies
You can force dark mode under System->Developer Options (just search for 'force' and its at the bottom of results). It will enable dark mode everywhere.
With gmail, they are overriding that override setting and forcing it to be white because they are preparing for native gmail dark mode. But you can override the override of the override by downgrading the gmail app to system app version, which has the dark mode when you enable force dark mode from Developer options. I love the dark mode gmail. It just awesome!
Hope that helps!

Good tip with the force dark mode, thanks! With the turning off on reboot though, is that meant to apply to the accent color option too? I've set that and icon shape and it seems to keep resetting itself... It seems silly to reset theme options like that, but that would explain why I keep losing them...

No way around this afaik, but I'm sure someone will come up with an app or something to enable on boot.
Anybody know a way to toggle Light/Dark mode on an individual app basis without root?
I personally like have my navigation drawer a in dark mode, but that means setting the dark mode globally in the display settings. However, there are many apps I don't like in dark mode such as Google Keep and Google Photos. But I can't seem to find a local setting to change those back to light mode.
I like using the dark mode. Easier on the eyes and saves a bit of power. But I really like the samsung music animations in 'light mode?' . Is the any way I can specifically turn off dark mode for Samsung Music. I don't see the option in its settings.
well you can give samsung black theme a try , instead of dark mode
Hi everyone!
I've tried to force the dark mode in the developer options, but the reboot of the phone automatically deactivates it. Anyway, the dark theme is not applied to all applications (Etsy, for instance...). I have also a Oneplus 6T and everything gets dark. Has anyone noticed this issue? Do I have to modify other options to make it work stably? Thank you in advance
