She noted that this dark mode "appears to be in an early stage of development," since it's only showing up in some parts of the app and some dark text is still displaying against a dark background.

Google announced that an official dark mode is coming to Android Q and Apple revealed its dedicated dark mode for iOS 13, both of which are coming later this year.
