Five years ago, several applications began to adopt a feature known as dark mode, including popular platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Hulu, and WhatsApp. In 2018, technology giants Apple and Google introduced a dark theme available across their mobile operating systems. Now, in 2024, Wikipedia has joined in, initiating the rollout of dark mode for its mobile website users.
Should you find yourself on Wikipedia’s mobile site this week, you might encounter a notification signaling that dark mode has been activated. To enable this feature, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to Wikipedia’s homepage.
- Click on the menu icon at the top.
- Select Settings.
- In the Colors menu, choose the “Dark” option.
Wikipedia mentions within the Colors tab that dark mode is currently in an experimental phase, and users might encounter certain issues while using it.
At this moment, the dark mode functionality is exclusive to mobile websites. There’s buzzing online, including comments from a Reddit user, suggesting that desktop users may soon witness the availability of this feature. Stay tuned for updates regarding when dark mode will be accessible on Wikipedia’s desktop version.
