How to get dark mode on LG Stylo 6

Let’s begin with the night mode –

1. LG Stylo 6 Night Mode

To turn on Night mode, we need to open the Settings app.

Now, look for “Display” and open it.

Next, we need to select “Night Mode”.

On the Night Mode page, toggle on the switch “Use Night mode”.

The dark mode is turned on.

We can set a daily night mode schedule.

Tap “Schedule” and turn it on.

There are 2 options on this page.

We can either schedule it to turn on every day from sunset to sunrise or set the time duration.

 

The default time duration is set from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

I’m changing the night mode start time to 12 AM.

I’ve set the night mode auto-off time to 8:00 AM.

This is the Stylo 6 home screen and keyboard layout in night mode.

The settings page & notification panel have also turned all black.

I’ve selected the Starlit night theme. It’s a Dark Theme with a black background.

Once the download is complete, we need to hit “Apply” to set this theme.

We have enabled the dark theme. This is how the home screen and phone dialer looks like.

4. LG Stylo 6 Maximum Battery Saver Mode

The maximum battery saver mode uses night mode & restricts background activity to increase battery life.

 

The last and the most useful LG Stylo 6 dark mode is the maximum battery saver mode.

Along with the dark mode, you also get twice the battery life in Maximum mode. It’s a win-win situation.

Open the Settings app and select “Battery”.

Now, go to the battery saver page.

There are 3 options on this page –

Off, Extended & Maximum.

Select the last option i.e. “Maximum”.

 

While using the maximum battery saver mode –

• Vibration is disabled
• Wifi & Bluetooth are turned off
• Location services are disabled when the screen is off
• Night Mode is turned on
• Background data and other activities are restricted
• The maximum brightness is set to 80%
• The frame rate is reduced

Tap “Turn on” to enable the maximum mode.

To make any changes, hit “Edit mode”.

Do any changes in the maximum mode as per your liking.

This is how the home screen looks like in maximum battery saver mode.

The phone dialer and the messaging app with the black background.

A “Battery saver is on” notification shows up as long as the maximum mode remains on.

Use the “Off” option on the Battery saver page, to turn off Maximum mode.
