But a study from BBC Research & Development found that 80 per cent of people using it were turning up their brightness far higher than they would on 'light mode'.
"But some of the most common sustainability recommendations are overly simplistic, to the point that many simply don’t work in the way they’re intended – or in the case of dark mode, actually end up using more energy.".
Mobile phone owners can still use 'dark mode' to use less energy - or simply because they prefer it.
And using a laptop with a monitor eats up more power than using a laptop alone - which could be reflected in your energy bills.
SWITCHING your devices to 'dark mode' is likely draining your battery faster than the standard 'light mode', according to new research.
