Nearly two years after Apple brought dark mode to iPhones via iOS 13, the version of Google Maps for Apple's operating system is given dark mode. The novelty begins to be implemented now and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
With the dark mode in Google Maps for iOS it will be easier to use the app at night or in dark environments. If you already have the most current version of the app, just go to the settings menu, select dark mode and tap "enable". There is also the option to make the app automatically follow the operating system theme.
