Automatic dark mode switching refers to a feature that automatically adjusts the theme of a website or application from light mode to dark mode based on the user's system preferences or the time of day. This feature provides a more personalized experience, ensuring that users have the appropriate visual setting without the need to switch between themes.
For example, if a user has dark mode enabled on their device, a website or app with automatic dark mode switching will display its content in dark mode as well. Alternatively, it could automatically shift to dark mode during evening or night hours to reduce eye strain. This functionality enhances usability and user comfort, particularly for those who prefer darker backgrounds for easier viewing in low-light environments.
