The update is now rolling out for both iOS and Android users and the dark theme can be enabled from the app’s Settings menu. The dark mode is applied for the main window, the Settings screen and almost every window inside the app. Do note that the option to toggle the colour scheme from white to dark might take some time to show up as it could be a staggered rollout. As per the Slack app’s changelog, noted by 9to5Mac, the dark mode is currently available for only mobile devices. It could is expected to soon arrive for the desktop version, sometime later. As mentioned earlier, many other app developers have also introduced the dark mode for their apps.

It is reportedly testing the colour scheme on Google Assistant app, however, the interface could use a bit of polishing.  Speaking of Google, the Android operating system developer is also expected to bring system-wide dark mode with the upcoming Android Q OS. As per a previous report, a Googler says that the dark mode is an “approved Android Q feature.”  Reference to the darker theme was also spotted on a Chromium Gerrit tracker created by the Googler Lukasz Zbylut, which states, “[Android] Q team wants to ensure that all preloaded apps support dark mode natively.” As one might speculate, “all preloaded apps” are most likely Google and Android Open Source Project (AOSP) apps.  Related Reads:  You can enable Dark Mode in Facebook Messenger by sending crescent moon emoji
