Dark Mode

LambdaTest’s Dark Mode feature allows you to manually toggle between light and dark themes on real iOS and Android devices during manual testing sessions.
This enables testers to validate UI appearance, color contrast, and theme switching for both mobile apps and web applications without writing automation scripts.

Use Cases

• Validate app UI elements render correctly in dark mode.
• Test color contrast and readability in dark themes.
• Verify icon and image visibility on dark backgrounds.
• Ensure theme inheritance across multiple app screens.
• Check browser and web application dark mode behavior.

Supported Devices

Device Type	Supported OS Version
iPhone / iPad	iOS 13 and above
Android Phones/Tablets	Android 11 and above

Steps to enable Dark Mode in Manual Testing

Step 1: Start a manual testing session on a real iOS or Android device in App Live or Browser Live.

Step 2: Go to the Device Control tab and turn the toggle On for Dark Mode.

tip

• Dark mode changes are applied at the system/browser level and may require refreshing the page for full effect.
• Some legacy websites may not fully support dark mode.
• Web applications must implement dark mode CSS for consistent theming beyond browser UI.
