Night Vision 👻

Dark mode is available today on Outlook for iOS and Android. We’ve carefully researched and crafted each of the details and surface colours in the app to make sure your email can adapt to your eyes, on your terms. We’ve paid special care to accessibility, eye strain, elevations, surface colors, and battery life — while drawing inspiration from films, art exhibits, and city nights. This was a huge effort from across Microsoft to align as one – a big thanks to everyone involved.

It’s rolling out today on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. We hope you like it.
