Staring at the bright Binance interface for extended trading sessions can tire your eyes. Switching to dark mode is not only easier on the eyes but also less glaring when checking your phone at night. Here's how to enable it. If you haven't installed Binance yet, download the Binance app first, then customize the theme to your preference.
Enabling Dark Mode
Android
- Open the Binance app
- Tap the profile icon in the top left
- Find "Settings" or look for the "Theme" option on your profile page
- Select "Dark Mode"
- The interface switches immediately
iOS
- Open the Binance app
- Tap the profile icon in the top left
- Go to "Settings"
- Find "Appearance" or "Theme"
- Select "Dark"
Follow System
If your phone's system is already set to dark mode, you can select the "Follow System" option. The Binance app will then automatically match your phone's dark/light setting.
Three Theme Modes
Binance typically offers three theme choices:
1. Light Mode
White background, ideal for well-lit environments.
2. Dark Mode
Dark background, suited for nighttime use or low-light conditions.
3. Follow System
Automatically matches your phone's system theme. If your phone has scheduled switching (light during the day, dark at night), the app follows along.
Benefits of Dark Mode
1. Eye Protection
A dark background reduces screen brightness, making extended use more comfortable — especially at night.
2. Battery Savings
On OLED screen phones, dark mode can significantly save battery life since black pixels don't emit light.
3. Trading Focus
A dark background makes candlestick charts and data stand out more, aiding in chart analysis.
4. Discretion
In public places, a dark interface draws less attention.
Candlestick Chart Color Settings
Beyond the overall theme, you can customize the chart's rise/fall colors:
- Go to the trading page
- Open candlestick chart settings
- Choose a color scheme:
- Green up, Red down (Binance default, international standard)
- Red up, Green down (common in some Asian markets)
Choose based on your preference.
Other Display Settings
In settings you can also adjust:
Currency Unit
Select which fiat currency to display (e.g., USD, EUR, etc.), affecting how asset values are shown.
Language
Switch the app's display language.
Home Screen Layout
Customize which modules appear on the home screen and their order.
Trading Page Settings
- Whether to show trading volume
- Default candlestick time period
- Whether to show the depth chart
Dark Mode on the Web
If you use Binance's web version:
- Log in to the Binance website
- Click the theme toggle icon in the top right (usually a sun/moon icon)
- Switch between dark and light modes
Summary
Enabling dark mode is simple — just toggle it in settings. Consider setting it to "Follow System" mode for automatic day/night switching. If you frequently watch charts at night, dark mode is a must-have setting.
