When you want to Enable Dark Mode in Apple Books, it seems like a full-fledged dark mode is the only option. But there are a few problems that I’m sure most of you have run into. First, the dark theme doesn’t work with all apps and websites. It kind of throws a wrench in the whole plan.
Second, the switch between dark mode and light mode for each app is still being worked on. There are still a lot of popular apps that haven’t joined. This isn’t the case with Apple Books, though, because the app has made full use of this feature. Let me show you how to turn on dark mode in Apple Books on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac if you think it might make reading more fun for you.
Apple Book has different themes, such as dark, light, grey, and yellow, to make reading more enjoyable. So, you can switch between light and dark modes in the default book reading app on your iOS or macOS device, depending on what works best for you. Save it for when you want to use the black theme in certain places but don’t want to turn on the dark mode for the whole system.
