you want to go 2 updates back,or maybe 3, and playstore should go dark, its been the last 2 or 3 updates that its vanished, don't forget toggle force dark mode. What google are playing at is beyond me, supposed to be adding dark theme to all there apps but remove the function from them.

Ah, ok, lets hope it is a new version then, my playstore is working again without it being rolled back or updated, so presumed it just an older version.

my playstore version is 16.7.21-all(0)(PR) 269660243

Must be a server side push. I have the same version and no dark.

Try turning phone off then on. Not reboot that is what I had done

Guess what it's gone again looks like I had it for a day

I have dark play store too since yesterday v16.8.19 and Gmail...only missing Google app and Assistant now, also wondering if Google docs and some other minor Google apps will receive dark mode

That's Google for you ??*

I had for a day or two dark mode on playstore but it want back to normal thing. Come and go all by it self

I've been wondering how to enable this. There is an option in the Google beta app, Android authority has said, but it is not there for me. Nor the Gmail dark, or the play store dark. But both display option is set to dark theme, and force dark mode on in developer settings. It is a mystery what Google is up to with this....
Edit: so I just powered off my phone, and restarted it. Still no dark play store, then I went back into apps and uninstalled all updates to the play store, and had to toggle the force override dark mode in Dev options because it switches off between boots, and I now have dark play store. But none of the other apps are dark, SMH.

Mine flipped on last night. It was definitely white in the morning, then I got a notification for an update at like 9, and there it was. It's amazing. Now if they would flip back on the dark assistant and Google app!

Android 10 dark theme apps

So I've upgraded to Android 10 and I'm sure not all Google apps that support the dark theme are working, or is it just me. For instance I thought the boot screen was now dark too? Mine is just the same as before. Google Chrome and Now are still? white also. Is the assistant meant to be white? I've got dark mode turned on, did the update OTA.

Did you enable system darkmode? Or global darkmode? System darkmode is just theming. Global darkmode sets the default.
Tried that, still the same!
New pixel 2 user sorry for my ignorance but wear is global dark mode I've enabled dark mode in display settings but as previous mentioned it's just app drawer dark no Google apps like Gmail or Google now are dark , currently stock latest Android 10 October 6 security ..[emoji848]

Facebook Dark Mode now out in the wild

My brother has it already and he didn't do anything, it just enabled on his app and there is no settings for it and I think this is account specific, like other features on Facebook not everyone will get the new thing all at once

His phone is Vivo V9, an update just released weeks ago to Android 9. Also, I don't think that Android version is one of the factors to get the dark mode. And I also forgot, his phone is in dark mode (system-wide) maybe that will be one of the factors to get the dark mode

Yes, this happened to me. I assumed it was a theming issue so I updated Swift Installer, applied the new themes, and rebooted. Currently the problem is gone for me.

Problems with dark mode.

Hey!
I am using Hex but I am not able to have all of my applications on dark mode. Some of the applications not having dark mode are TikTok and Snapchat.
I remember couple of years ago I didn't have this problem. I used to theme all the applications well without any exception. The problem is, I don't know what application I used (could be Substratum but it didn't work when I tried).
What I am asking is whether there is some way to turn applications which don't have dark mode to dark mode? I have tried with Substratum, Hex installer and various themes. They don't turn all applications to dark mode.
Forcing dark mode doesn't have either.
I don't know whether the problem is device, system or application related.
I am using S20FE Snap One UI 4.1
Thank you for reading!

You mean the force dark mode setting in Developper options?
That's the best you can do. If that doesn't apply dark mode in your applications i'm afraid there's not much else you do except wait for official dark mode in those apps.

Forcing dark mode is turned on in Developer Options. It doesn't help.
If that didn't do the trick I guess the only solution is to wait. Snapchat added Dark Mode on iOS, i'm sure it's just a matter of time before they make it to Android as well.

I hope so. It's still very hard for me to belive that there's no application able to theme. It's a simple white to black inversion.
I'm not judging. I don't know how I would do that but I find it strange.
Dark mode has become increasingly popular in the last few years and it blows my mind that popular apps such as Snapchat or TikTok like you've mentionned still don't have it in their settings.

I agree. We will see.
I think I used Substratum back in past to theme applications which weren't compatible but not even that is available now.
You could try some modded apps with black themed skins. I remember this was the way back in 2015., before dark mode and substratum.

Question No emoji/cinematic wallpaper with June update?

Hello! Just installed the latest beta (cheetah-tq3a.230605.012-factory-9cb9bc3f.zip) with Pixel Flasher (rooted). For some reason I don't see the cinematic wallpaper or the emoji wallpaper options... Any ideas? Am I the only one?
Same here, my guess is some app updates need to be pushed by google first.
Hmmmm thanks. I did try the Play Store, no updates here.
Update Emoji Workshop Wallpaper Play Store Emoji workshop wallpaper link & Pixel Live Wallpaper then hit restart you should be able to see Emoji Wallpaper in the wallpaper picker.
Hit if that works

Emoji not available for me, live wallpaper shows last updated back in February. Can you tell me what it says for you?
I'll try to find a mirror... Thanks!
Same, last update is 27 February and Emoji Workshop Wallpaper doesn't even exist for me.
You guys will eventually get the Emoji Workshop Wallpaper app. Can take a bit to get it after you update. Also, Cinematic Wallpaper needs a server side update, I believe.

You're probably right. Everything services, activities, etc is enabled for cinematic wallpaper and there's nothing of importance in its data/data folder.
They are both available to me after flashing the latest update. They show up under live wallpapers. The Cinematic Wallpaper isn't working for me (just shows black). The emoji wallpaper works, but the previews before setting it is buggy.

Just because it's available to you it doesn't mean it's so for everyone
That said, a few minutes ago I launched Pixel Tips and went to Wallpapers from there, and this time it worked! Maybe (most possibly) by chance and how I launched it didn't have any bearing, but...
Cinematic wallpaper is still a no go for me, I don't even get the icon.

Well, I cant get macro video to activate either, so theres that, no update available in the store yet. Others stated it needs the 8.9 version of Gcam, mines still at 8.8.

The Update has come... we hope Emoji Wallpaper and Cinematic Wallaper bring to Non Pixel Device via Ported APK <3
This is google's response:
1. Check if an android system intelligence update is available in Google play store.
2. Please leave the phone on idle, on Wifi, and charging overnight to trigger the update.
We have raised this issue with our engineers and sometimes features can take a while to rollout across all eligible users. If you're still unable to see this feature after 2-3 weeks please get back in touch with us.
