Hi, I’m Adam, I’m known as Warwagon on the forum. For the past 19 years, I have been running my own computer repair business. In doing so, I deal with the average computer user on a day-to-day basis.

Every bit of information that I provide to people, I do so with the lowest common denominator in mind. It’s a common misconception that everyone who joins or browses a tech site is a techie. Some people are just looking for guidance. That is why for some, these technical tips may seem too simplistic, but they are educational for others.

There’s an option on the iPhone, Android and Windows called “Dark Mode”, it’s a mode that gives every app that supports it a black theme, making it easier on the eyes since it’s not as bright.

Some people leave dark mode on all the time, and in the case of the iPhone, some people schedule dark mode to turn on at a certain time at night.

• Tap on screen and brightness

Here you can enable dark mode to test it or under “options” Set a custom schedule to turn it on and off at a certain time of day.

This one is a bit more difficult as each manufacturer may place it in a different location.
