Dark theme and Sleep Tracking are coming to Google Fit

In Google’s quest to dark mode everything, Google Fit users can now switch to dark theme to see their rings fill up in even more vivid contrast. In addition to dark theme, the Google Fit app is also being updated to track sleep patterns by pairing it to apps or fitness trackers you use that also offer that tool.

Sleep patterns will now be displayed over time with purple bars that show you how many hours, and between which hours, you’re asleep. It doesn’t seem to show specific details, such as deep and light sleep hours, however. You can view all this information from the home screen when you launch Google Fit.  Dark theme, on the other hand, can be enabled by going to your profile and selecting Settings.

In case you’re not in the know, dark mode is a feature that lets you switch the color theme of an app, or an entire desktop operating system, to black or something close to it. Beyond the thrill of invigorating a tired design, some like to have the option available because it makes looking at your devices a little easier on the eyes. If you use a smartphone that has an OLED display, it might save some battery life, too.

Google’s just beginning to roll out the updates and says you should be able to turn it on any day now, so keep your eyes peeled and get ready to go dark.
