Last year, companies like Microsoft and Apple included such features to their OS that would alarm the user about how long they had been using their smartphone. Another thing that those companies have done is that included dark mode to the new OS they released.
On the same league, we had been waiting for similar dark theme on Gmail, too, and finally, the company has released the dark mode for Gmail.

Gmail launched the dark mode theme for both iOS and Android today, but some of the users may only use it after fifteen or more days.
There are many users who use their smartphones and work on their laptops at night. Considering which, Gmail has incorporated the dark mode to it as the users won’t feel any strain on their eyes while using Gmail in the night time. And, it is not necessary that one can only the dark theme in the night. The dark theme can be turned on in the day time as well. Also having the dark mode will also save the device’s battery, as darker pixels need less power than lighter pixels.
