We need Dark Mode when we are working at night. The facility to activate it is available on the Docs mobile app. If you use Google Docs on your mobile phone with the help of the Google Docs app, you can activate it from the inbuilt options. But, to activate Google Docs dark mode on the desktop, you must install a separate extension.
This guide explains the step-by-step methods of activating dark mode for desktop and mobile devices.
