Google rolls out dark mode for Maps, other features on Android
Google Maps is now getting a full-fledged dark mode on
Android, the feature has been in testing since September 2020.
"These days, we are all experiencing a bit of screen fatigue.
With the dark themes in Google Maps soon
expanding to all Android users globally, you can give your eyes a much-needed
break and save on battery life," the company said in a statement on
Tuesday.
Once your Google Maps has been
updated, you can turn it on for your entire phone by heading to Settings >
Theme and pick Always In Dark Theme.
The company also introduced some updates to Android Auto. In
addition to custom wallpapers, Android Auto is now going to feature games as
well.
For longer drives, you and your passengers can stay entertained
with voice-activated games like trivia and "Jeopardy!". Just say,
"Hey Google, play a game" to get started.
Android Auto is also getting a split-screen feature that will put
Maps side by side with media controls,
Google is also rolling out Password Checkup to Android to help
alert you about potential leaks or data breaches that may have exposed your
existing passwords to hackers.
