Many users have complained and asked Microsoft to add dark mode in Office applications. This feature will help them edit documents without the glare of the device’s blue light affecting their eyes. Recognizing user feedback and realizing the lack of updating dark mode for Android operating system, after more than 1 year of development this mode is now available to Android users in an update Upcoming. Android users with the latest version of Office apps will automatically adjust to dark mode if the device is already set to that option. In addition, users can also enable or disable dark mode by touching the profile icon on the home tab in the Office application. Then select the settings and choose light, dark or the system default to customize the theme. Microsoft product manager Sourab Nagpal said this is a feature that has been requested by many customers. This mode is well-received by many people because it provides comfort when reading documents and working on mobile devices. Microsoft says it will roll out dark mode for Office on Android in the coming weeks, so it may not be available to all users right away. Dark mode was updated by Micorosoft for iOS operating system last year along with the release of integrated Office. Devices like iPhone, iPad can read documents using Office applications comfortably just like Twitter, Facebook or WhatsApp experience with a dark color adaptive interface.
