Today, Microsoft rolled out Dark Mode in Microsoft Outlook app and office.com. Do note the dark mode in Microsoft Outlook App is now available in both the iOS and Android App.

Microsoft Outlook can look different on a phone, in a browser and on a computer. This archive centers on our report about dark mode reaching the mobile app and Office.com. Use that dated story to understand the launch, then match current help to the app and screen you actually use.
Choose which part of the screen to change
Outlook dark mode concerns how the app displays its interface and messages. Microsoft’s current iOS display help explains the Light, Dark and System Default choices for that platform. A phone’s general theme and an app’s own choice can both be part of the result.
Before changing email themes, identify what bothers you: the surrounding app, the message background or text that is hard to see. This gives you a clearer goal than changing several options at once and trying to remember which one helped.
Match mobile, web and desktop guides
The Outlook mobile app has its own controls and release history. A screenshot from a computer guide may not give the menu path on your phone. Check the app and operating system named in the instructions before assuming that an option is missing.
Office.com dark mode belongs to a web experience discussed in the launch report. Our Microsoft Office archive provides wider context for the app family. A shared account or brand name does not mean every screen uses exactly the same theme control.
Use display settings around a real task
Outlook display settings should help you read and write comfortably in your own setup. Try the available view with an ordinary message and check text, links and images together. That small check can help you choose a view that suits the screen and the messages you read.
For Outlook updates, read current support for the app you have as well as the date on an older article. If your question concerns another mail service, browse Gmail. Our email tools archive covers more search-related mail topics. The report below preserves the original rollout story and its context.
