Upcoming Pocophone F1 update (s):
Pocophone F1 Dark Mode Update:
The dark mode or night mode update of Pocophone F1 is rolling out and you can enable it in Beta right now.
How to Enable Dark mode in Poco F1?
The feature can be activated in MIUI 10 global beta of the Pocophone F1 bearing build number 9.3.25 by heading over to Settings -> Display. On this page, you can find the toggle for Dark Mode under the Ambient Display option.
The dark theme applies to volume controls, notification and quick settings shade, recents menu beside a slew of system apps on the POCO F1. At the time of the closed beta last month, XDADevelopers saw that the dark theme applied to system apps such as Calculator, Contacts, Gallery, Messaging, Notes, Phone, Screen Recorder, and Updater. Aside from these apps, the feature also applied to some of the sub-menus in Settings, even though some of the main Settings page seemed to excluded at the time. That has been fixed now, as you can see in the screenshots above.
