Microsoft finally introduces the Dark Mode Theme in its Office app for Android phones. The company made this announcement as a blog post on May 20th 2021. This new update came in few weeks after the software company announced that it is replacing Calibri as the default font for the same Office application.
If you’re like me, you will agree that reading and working on mobile phones using Dark Mode is better and provides a more comfortable visual experience. Little wonder the software company had to listen to this highly requested feature by many of Its customers.
While the Office app has been available on iOS and Android for more than a year, only the iOS version has included built-in dark mode support until now.
The latest Office app for Android will now automatically enable dark mode if you’ve set that as a system preference on your Android device. Dark mode can also be toggled from the home tab in the Office app.
The Office app helps you get work done on a mobile device by combining Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into a single app and adding many rich capabilities for creating and working with PDFs, images, scanning, capturing notes, and much more.
Microsoft is giving users the ability to do all this using a theme of your choice — based on the time of day, your surroundings, or your device settings. Dark Mode ensures that you can adjust the Office app to low-light environments, while providing you with better viewing options and keeping battery consumption low.
Dark mode for Office on Android will roll out over the coming weeks, so it might not appear for all users instantly. You can download Microsoft’s Office app for Android from the Google Play Store.
