As we delve deeper into the first beta of Android Q, we’re finding some surprises (as well as lack of surprises). One surprise we’ve found is that this first Android Q beta doesn’t have night mode anymore — even though all rumors pointed to Android Q having a system-wide dark theme.
With this first beta of Android Q, if you go into the settings panel as well as developer options, you won’t find any night mode or dark theme settings. However, night mode is still there — it will automatically turn on if you have a dark wallpaper and you previously had night mode toggled on when you were on Android 9 Pie.
However, if you do a completely fresh install of this Android Q beta, you will have no access to night mode, a dark theme, or anything of the sort.
While it is certainly concerning that this feature is missing — considering how passionate Android users are about dark themes and Google’s own admission to their battery-saving benefits — we shouldn’t panic yet. The fact that night mode still works in Android Q (even if you can’t control it) and the fact that leaked builds of Android Q had a full on system-wide dark theme are both good signs.
In fact, Google plans on releasing a total of six Android Q betas, so there’s plenty of time for Google to put in a proper dark theme before Android Q goes stable.
It should also be mentioned that the app-specific dark themes in Google Contacts, Google News, YouTube, etc., are all still active in Android Q.
