Does Amazon Have Dark Mode in 2026?
Short answer: Amazon does not currently offer a built-in dark mode for its main shopping website or the Amazon Shopping app. As of July 2026, Amazon product pages, search results, and checkout remain light even when your device uses a system-wide dark theme.
Use the option that matches how you access Amazon:
| Platform | Built-in dark mode? | Recommended option |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon website on PC or Mac | No | Use the Night Eye browser extension |
| Amazon website in Safari on iPhone or iPad | No | Use Night Eye for Safari |
| Amazon Shopping app on iPhone or iPad | No | Use iOS Smart Invert for Amazon as an accessibility workaround |
| Amazon Shopping app on Android, including Samsung | No | Use Color inversion as a workaround; Override force-dark may not work |
Night Eye is the most consistent option for the Amazon website, including when you browse Amazon in Safari on an iPhone or iPad. Smart Invert and the Android methods apply to the Amazon Shopping app; they are device-level workarounds and may change the appearance of icons, product images, or colors.
What about the dark Amazon app icon? A dark or tinted icon changes only how Amazon looks on your Home Screen. It does not make the interface inside the Amazon Shopping app dark. Other Amazon products use separate themes; this guide covers the Amazon Shopping website and app.
Why Use Dark Mode on Amazon?
Amazon uses large white backgrounds across search results, product pages, reviews, and checkout. A darker interface can reduce glare and feel more comfortable when you shop in a dim room or compare products for a long time.
- Less glare at night: Darker backgrounds reduce the amount of bright white light on the screen.
- More comfortable product research: Reviews, specifications, and comparison pages can be easier to browse in low light.
- A consistent browser theme: Night Eye keeps Amazon and other bright websites visually consistent.
- Possible OLED power savings: Dark pixels may use less power on OLED displays, although the result depends on the screen, colors, and brightness.
Dark mode is a display preference, not a medical treatment. For the most comfortable experience, also adjust your screen brightness to match the light in the room.
How to Enable Amazon Dark Mode on PC or Mac
Because Amazon does not provide a native website toggle, the most consistent way to get Amazon dark mode on PC or Mac is to use Night Eye. It works with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and other supported browsers, converting Amazon’s bright pages into a dark theme while preserving product images, navigation, prices, reviews, and checkout content.
- Install Night Eye. Choose your browser using the installer below.
- Open Amazon. Visit the Amazon website for your country. If Amazon was already open during installation, refresh the tab once.
- Open Night Eye. Click the Night Eye icon beside your browser’s address bar. If you do not see it, open the browser’s extensions menu and pin Night Eye.
- Select Dark mode. Amazon should change immediately. You can switch back to light mode at any time from the same Night Eye panel.
You do not need to sign in to Amazon or change any Amazon account settings to use this method.
Amazon Dark Mode for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari
Night Eye is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and other supported browsers. It lets you adjust the result instead of applying a fixed color inversion. Use its controls to tune brightness, contrast, blue light, and dimming for Amazon. You can also schedule dark mode or use Website and Page Settings when you want Amazon to behave differently from other sites.
Most people can start with the default settings. For a complete walkthrough, see How to Start with Night Eye. If you need help, visit the Night Eye Help Center or contact support.

Amazon Light Mode vs Dark Mode
Use the sliders below to compare Amazon’s standard light pages with the darker version created by Night Eye. Product photography remains visible while bright page backgrounds become easier to view in low light. Amazon changes its layout over time, so the current interface may differ from these examples, but the light-to-dark conversion is the same.

How to Get Amazon Dark Mode on iPhone and iPad
On an iPhone or iPad, you have two different options. For the better browsing experience, open the Amazon website in Safari and use Night Eye. If you prefer the Amazon Shopping app, Apple’s Smart Invert can create a dark-looking interface as an accessibility workaround.
Use Night Eye on the Amazon Website in Safari
Night Eye is available as a Safari extension on iOS and iPadOS. This lets you shop on the Amazon website in dark mode without relying on the Amazon Shopping app.
- Install Night Eye for Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Enable Night Eye under Safari’s extension settings and allow it to access Amazon.
- Open the Amazon website in Safari.
- Open Night Eye from Safari’s extensions menu and select Dark mode.
This method changes the Amazon website rather than applying a screen-wide color inversion. See the Night Eye Safari dark mode guide for installation details.
Use Smart Invert Only for the Amazon App
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Go to Accessibility > Per-App Settings.
- Tap Add App and select Amazon.
- Open the Amazon entry and set Smart Invert to On.
- Close and reopen the Amazon Shopping app.
Smart Invert is an accessibility workaround, not true Amazon dark mode. It tries to avoid reversing images, but some colors, icons, product photos, or interface elements may still look different.
If Smart Invert is not available under Per-App Settings on your software version, use the global option at Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Smart Invert. Remember to switch it off when you no longer need it. Apple explains the feature in its Invert Colors guide.
How to Get Amazon Dark Mode on Android
The Amazon Shopping app normally remains light when you enable Android’s regular Dark theme. If you want to confirm this on your device, go to Settings > Display, turn on Dark theme, and reopen Amazon.
If Amazon remains light, use Android’s accessibility workaround:
- Open Settings.
- Go to Accessibility > Color and motion.
- Select Color inversion.
- Turn on Use color inversion, then reopen Amazon.
Color inversion affects the whole screen and may change product-image colors. Turn it off before making a color-sensitive purchase. Google provides the current steps in its Dark theme and color inversion guide.
Some Android phones also show Override force-dark in Developer Options. Older guides often recommend it, but recent Amazon app versions may ignore it, and enabling it can affect other apps. Its location and availability vary by phone and Android version.
Amazon Dark Mode Not Working? Try These Fixes
- Refresh Amazon after installing Night Eye. A tab that was already open may not change until it reloads.
- Pin and open Night Eye. Confirm that its mode is set to Dark and that Amazon is not in an exclusion list.
- Do not rely on the device theme alone. System dark mode only changes apps and websites that support it.
- Ignore outdated Amazon menu instructions. If a guide tells you to open Amazon Settings > Appearance > Dark Mode but that menu is missing, it does not apply to the main Amazon Shopping experience.
- Expect mobile workarounds to be imperfect. Smart Invert, force-dark, and color inversion can alter icons or product colors.
Amazon Dark Mode FAQ
These quick answers cover the most common questions about dark mode on the Amazon website and Amazon Shopping app.
Does Amazon have a dark mode?
No. The main Amazon Shopping website and mobile shopping app do not currently provide a built-in dark mode switch. Desktop users can make the website dark with Night Eye, while mobile users must rely on device accessibility workarounds.
How do I turn on Amazon dark mode on PC?
Install Night Eye in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or another supported browser. Open or refresh Amazon and select Dark mode from the Night Eye panel. There is no Amazon account setting to change.
Does the Amazon app have dark mode on iPhone?
No. On iPhone or iPad, add Amazon under Settings > Accessibility > Per-App Settings, then turn on Smart Invert for that app. This is an accessibility workaround and may not reproduce every color perfectly. For a more consistent result, browse the Amazon website in Safari with Night Eye instead.
Does the Amazon app have dark mode on Android?
No. Android’s regular Dark theme normally leaves the Amazon Shopping app light. Color inversion can create a dark-looking interface, but it affects the whole screen and may change product colors. Override force-dark is available on some devices, although recent Amazon versions may ignore it.
Why is the Amazon icon dark but the app is still light?
The app icon and the interface use separate appearance settings. A dark or tinted Home Screen icon changes only the icon; it does not add dark mode to the Amazon Shopping app.
Why does Amazon not have dark mode?
Amazon has not published a clear explanation for the absence of a universal dark mode in its main shopping experience. Claims that the decision is based on sales or conversion rates are speculation unless Amazon confirms them.
Does Amazon Prime have dark mode?
If you mean Prime Video, its website and apps use a predominantly dark interface. Amazon Prime membership itself does not have a separate interface theme, and Prime Video’s appearance does not enable dark mode on Amazon Shopping.
Can Amazon dark mode save battery life?
It may reduce power use on an OLED screen when the interface uses sufficiently dark pixels. Savings vary by device, brightness, and the exact colors displayed, so they are not guaranteed.
How do I turn off Amazon dark mode?
On a computer or in Safari on iPhone or iPad, open Night Eye and switch Amazon to Light or Normal mode. For the Amazon app on iPhone or iPad, turn off Smart Invert under Per-App Settings. On Android, turn off Dark theme, Override force-dark, or Color inversion—whichever workaround you enabled.
Can I use Night Eye for Amazon on iPhone or iPad?
Yes. Install Night Eye for Safari, enable the extension, and open the Amazon website in Safari. Night Eye can then convert the website to dark mode. This works in the browser; it does not change the native Amazon Shopping app.
