How to activate Dark Mode on any Huawei and Honor phone with EMUI 5.X, 8.X, 9.X

EMUI 10 brings a lot of new features including the Magazine Style UI, Morandi Color system, Golden icon design, new privacy features, and the new Dark Mode.

While enabled, the Dark Mode applies a bold contrast between the text and the foreground and adds a dark background for optimal readability. This also helps to prevent eye fatigue.

However, not all Huawei and Honor phones are eligible to receive the EMUI 10 and the users who didn’t receive this major upgrade, asked for at least to receive the Dark mode. We don’t know Huawei is listening to them or not but we’re for sure.
