Enable Dark Mode in Google Docs for Android or iPhone
The Google Docs app on Android and iPhone lets you quickly switch between light and dark themes. If you have dark mode enabled system-wide on Android or iPhone, Google Docs will turn it on by default. However, if you want dark mode only in Google Docs, here's what you need to do.
Open Google Docs and tap the menu icon in the top left corner.
Then, select “Settings”.
Now, select the “Theme” option, which will allow you to select dark mode. This option is called “Choose Theme” on Android.

Switch to “View in Light Theme.”
This will change all documents in Google Docs to the light theme, while keeping the app in dark mode.
