Google
said in 2018 that the presence of dark mode in the operating system and apps
helps to extend the battery life of a device.
A dark
mode is an option that changes the color scheme of an operating system or app
from black or dark.

On
this occasion, Google gave an example saying that using YouTube from a dark
theme uses 43% less battery power than normal mode because in normal mode the
screen consumes a lot of battery by using numerous white.
But
surprisingly, Google did not introduce this feature in its most used search
engine.
The
dark mode is now being introduced in Google’s desktop search badge.
According
to Nine to Five Google, the company is testing a dark theme on the desktop search
page, in which the background will be white instead of dark gray, while the
colorful Google logo will also be white.
This
feature is similar to the dark mode version of Google Search’s mobile app,
which has been available to users since May 2020.
The
report states that this feature is available to a limited number of users on
the desktop and according to one user it automatically turned on this theme and
after a while, the white theme came back.
Google
has not yet stated in this regard and it is not yet clear when it will be
introduced to all users.
Keep
in mind that using dark mode also helps to protect your eyes from the negative
effects of light emitted from smartphones and laptops.
