Before you start
Nothing. You can start right away.
Steps
Tap the "Change theme" button in the top bar
Look for the sun or moon icon, next to the bell. You'll find it on every screen once you're signed in.
You should see: A small menu with Light, Dark and System.
Pick "Light", "Dark" or "System"
"System" follows your phone or computer. If your device switches to dark at night, Autopilot does too.
You should see: The whole screen changes right away, and a check mark sits next to your choice.
Or open "Settings" and choose "Preferences"
On a phone, tap "More" in the bottom bar, then Settings. Preferences is one of the tabs.
You should see: An "Appearance" section with a "Theme" setting.
Go straight to ThemeSelect "Light" or "Dark" under "Theme"
Each choice is a small preview of the screen. There's no save button. The change saves on its own.
You should see: The preview you picked is outlined, and the whole screen switches.
Which choice does what
| Choice | What you get | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Light screens all the time | Top bar and Settings |
| Dark | Dark screens all the time | Top bar and Settings |
| System | Follows your device's own setting | Top bar only |
What happens next
- Your choice is saved to your account, so it follows you when you sign in somewhere else.
- Quiet the screen down too with sound effects.
- Update your login in how to change your password.
- Add a face to your account with your name and profile photo.
If something's not right
I picked a theme and it changed back
Pick it once more and wait a second for it to save. If you're on System, the screen follows your device. If the sign-in screen is the one that looks different, see what to do when you can't log in.
I can't find System in Settings
Settings only offers Light and Dark. System lives in the Change theme button in the top bar. Other account options are in your name and profile photo.
