Dark Mode is a popular feature that turns your screen background dark. It can reduce eye strain, save battery, and give your phone a sleek, modern look. Most recent Vivo smartphones running Funtouch OS or Origin OS make it easy to turn Dark Mode on or off. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you manage it on your Vivo device.
Benefits of Dark Mode on Vivo Phones
Reduced Eye Strain: Easier on your eyes, especially at night or in low-light settings.
Battery Saver: Extends battery life on phones with OLED screens.
Stylish Interface: Gives your phone a modern and clean look.
How to Enable Dark Mode
These steps work for the most recent Vivo models, including Y-series, V-series, and X-series.
Open Settings: Launch the “Settings” app on your Vivo phone.
Go to Display & Brightness: Scroll down and tap on “Display & Brightness.”
Find Dark Mode / Dark Theme: Look for “Dark Mode” or “Dark Theme.” On some phones, it’s right there; on others, you may need to open a submenu.
Enable Dark Mode: Switch the toggle to “On.” Your phone will instantly switch to a dark theme.
Optional: Schedule Dark Mode
Many Vivo phones let you schedule Dark Mode. Tap on “Dark Mode” or “Dark Theme” and:
- Set it to turn on automatically at sunset and off at sunrise.
- Or pick your own custom time, like 7pm to 6am.
How to Disable Dark Mode
If you prefer Light Mode:
Open Settings: Tap the “Settings” app.
Go to Display & Brightness: Scroll down and tap “Display & Brightness.”
Toggle Dark Mode Off: Switch “Dark Mode” or “Dark Theme” to “Off.” Your phone will immediately go back to light mode.
Tip: If you’ve scheduled Dark Mode, make sure to adjust or remove the schedule to keep Light Mode active all the time.
Quick Access & Other Methods
On some Vivo models, you can swipe down from the top to open the Control Center and toggle Dark Mode instantly.
If you don’t see “Dark Mode,” use the search bar in Settings and type “Dark” or “Theme.”

Troubleshooting
Battery Saver Conflict: Some phones link Dark Mode to Battery Saver. If you can’t turn it off, try disabling Battery Saver first.
Older Models: Very old Vivo models might not support Dark Mode or may need a system update.
Funtouch OS Variants: Dark Mode options may vary slightly depending on your Funtouch OS version.
Pro Tips
Use the Schedule feature to automatically switch modes for comfort and battery efficiency.
If you can’t find Dark Mode, make sure your phone’s software is up to date.
Dark Mode can help reduce blue light exposure and may aid sleep, so consider using it in the evenings.
