YouTube?s Android app is finally getting a dark theme

Although YouTube has offered a dark theme on its web and iOS apps for months, it’s been taking its own sweet time bringing it to Android for some reason (seriously, what’s the hold-up?). Now, there’s hope.

Redditor u/Absinth92 reported on the weekend that the option had become available on his mobile device – and Android Police reports that others have spotted the feature too.

If you can’t wait for YouTube to flip the switch, you can try this method detailed over on XDA Developers Forum to enable the feature – but you’ll need root access to get it to work.
