Hey Fitbit Community,

We're happy to announce a highly requested feature that many of you have been asking for — Dark Mode! With the release of Fitbit App version 4.50, you can now switch to a darker theme, offering a more comfortable viewing experience, especially in low-light conditions.

Why Dark Mode?

Dark Mode isn't just about aesthetics. It brings several benefits:

  • Reduced eye strain: The darker colors emit less blue light, which can help alleviate eye fatigue, particularly during evening use.
  • Improved battery life: For devices with OLED screens, Dark Mode can significantly reduce battery consumption by lighting up fewer pixels.
  • Enhanced readability: The high contrast between text and background can make information easier to read for some users.
  • Sleek new Look: It gives your Fitbit app a fresh, modern appearance that's easy on the eyes.

How to Enable Dark Mode

Enabling Dark Mode is quick and easy. Simply update your Fitbit app to version 4.50, then navigate to your app settings. If your device is already using dark mode, the app will automatically adjust to dark mode, but you can additionally set your preference through the settings. You'll find an option to switch your theme preference to "Dark."

While the majority of the Fitbit app will support Dark Mode, a limited number of elements may not fully render in the dark theme at the initial launch. We're constantly working to improve your Fitbit experience. We appreciate your patience and are excited for you to try out as we release this highly awaited feature!
