Since 2019, Google has been rolling out night modes to all of its apps. The last major holdout is Google Maps, but that’s fortunately coming to an end as its dark theme is set to soon launch globally on Android.
Update 3/1: Following last week’s announcement, the Google Maps dark theme is widely rolling out this evening. It applies to both the map layer and menus. Interesting design changes include how the ocean is pitch black, while various elements and buttons feature a notable outline/raised shadow. Overall, this night mode is rather blue.
Besides the introductory prompt, you can control from Settings > Theme. Make sure you have the latest Android version (10.61.2) of Maps from the Play Store and Force stop from the system App info page if it’s not yet live.
