The white background in the current app design can be problematic when I'm out exercising at night.  Please consider adding an option for the app to have a "Dark Mode" with lighter text on a dark background.

Hello @SunsetRunner, thank you for visiting the Fitbit Community! So far I haven't received more updates regarding this suggestion. All the progress and future updates are going to be posted in the idea I mentioned before, where currently this suggestion still is under review.

If by any chance I got more news, I will keep you posted. To learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released visit our FAQs.

See you later!

I agree!  Please support dark mode in Android Q and iOS 13 - which both have system-wide dark mode, this sets all current apps to dark mode. Fitbit is not working with this and is VERY BRIGHT at night when setting alarms at bedtime. All the apps I use like (e.g. Youtube, Twitter, etc) work fine in the dark, except Fitbit. 😕

I couldn’t agree more! This seems like a no brained for Fitbit. Seems strange they haven’t implemented this feature yet. Especially for all of us using OLED/AMOLED screens. Come on Fitbit step your game up... please 😬

Only problem with this is that on the apps that yet to be optimised for dark mode (Facebook, Fitbit etc.) the colour can go all wrong and some comments are really difficult to read.  I tried it and it only lasted about 10 minutes as it made some of my other apps impossible to use.

In Andriod 10 you can get dark mode by enabling developer options and forcing dark mode on unsupported apps.Dark ModeDark Mode

I tried this, then realized I only have Android 9 and that option does
not appear in the developer options.  I think Fitbit should just support
it natively already! Their own devices (Charge series etc) are all
running dark mode (white text on black background) so why not allow this
in the Fitbit App!!! PLEASE

If you're using the android app, you can enable developer options by going to system and clicking build number 7 times quickly. In developer options go to the force dark mode option and it should work

Hello all, I have a charge 3 and Huawei mate pro 20. I have tried all other suggestions by people but can't find a force dark mode option in developer option's and force stop does not work either despite system wide dark mode on. The widget has gone dark, why not the app itself? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

It's been 2+ years and Fitbit have been giving the same bog standard reply about having a dark mode option. SMH.

 

If you're not going to have a dark mode, just tell us. Send an email, or message on the app or a pinned post on the community board... what's the point of stringing people along?
