| 51 | +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. |
| 52 | +This enables testers to validate UI appearance, color contrast, and theme switching for both mobile apps and web applications without writing automation scripts. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +## Use Cases |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +- Validate app UI elements render correctly in dark mode. |
| 57 | +- Test color contrast and readability in dark themes. |
| 58 | +- Verify icon and image visibility on dark backgrounds. |
| 59 | +- Ensure theme inheritance across multiple app screens. |
| 60 | +- Check browser and web application dark mode behavior. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +## Supported Devices |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +| Device Type | Supported OS Version | |
| 65 | +|-------------------------|----------------------| |
| 66 | +| iPhone / iPad | iOS 13 and above | |
| 67 | +| Android Phones/Tablets | Android 11 and above | |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## Steps to enable Dark Mode in Manual Testing |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +**Step 1:** Start a manual testing session on a real iOS or Android device in **App Live** or **Browser Live**. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +**Step 2:** Go to the **Device Control tab** and turn the toggle **On** for Dark Mode. |

| 80 | +- Dark mode changes are applied at the **system/browser level** and may require refreshing the page for full effect. |
| 81 | +- Some legacy websites may not fully support dark mode. |
| 82 | +- Web applications must implement dark mode CSS for consistent theming beyond browser UI. |
