Learn how to enable dark mode on the Amazon app and website with these methods for Android, iOS, and desktop browsers, using workarounds.

To enable dark mode on the Amazon app and website, you can use the following methods for different devices:

Amazon doesn’t have a built-in dark mode, but you can force enable it through the Developer options on Android devices[1]. Follow these steps:

  5. Scroll down to find the “Override force-dark” option and enable it[1].

Now, the Amazon app should display in dark mode. If you want to disable it, just turn off the “Override force-dark” option.

iOS

Unfortunately, there is no direct way to enable dark mode on the Amazon app for iOS devices[1]. However, you can turn on dark mode on Amazon on iPhone and iPad while using the Safari Browser:

iPhone, Ipad (Safari Browser)

To activate Lights Off on the Amazon website in Safari, do the following:

  2. Tap on the Three Dots icon.

  2. Once installed, click on the Dark Reader extension icon and turn it on.
  3. On the filter, select ‘Dark’.
