The New York Times, or NYTimes, app for Android and iPhone is one of the greatest news-reading applications available. The NYTimes, like all other reading applications for smartphones, includes a built-in Dark Mode option. If you read a lot at night or in dim lighting, you may set the dark theme on the app and read all the news without straining your eyes.

1. Dark mode minimises blue light output, which might disrupt your sleep.
2. When you enable the dark mode, your device’s battery life will be extended.
3. The dark mode displays the image’s exact design, making it possible for viewers to inspect every nook and cranny.
