Google's video platform YouTube featured a Dark Theme back in 2017. Now some reports are surfacing online that some of the iPhone users are receiving the YouTube's Dark Theme. As per some reports from Beebom, Apple is now releasing updates to the YouTube app in iOS that brings the dark theme options for the iPhone users.

The report further suggests that some users took it to Reddit to report that they can now see a "Dark Mode" toggle in the YouTube app on their iPhones. However the report also suggests that the YouTube dark mode on iOS is not completely black for some reason. It would have been really interesting though to see the completely black theme on the iPhone X's OLED display.

The Dark Theme feature was spotted in YouTube's desktop app back in 2017 and Google has rolled out the same officially to its video platform just after a month of its original launch. Those folks at YouTube then came up with a revamped desktop site that is focused on rendering a beautiful, consistent, and simple look and a new experience to the users.

This new YouTube desktop variant was available for preview back then however only a limited number of users were able to experience it. However later, the same was rolled out to all users across the world. If a user wants to go back to the classic view, he/she can select Restore classic YouTube.

Notably, the YouTube desktop site features an intuitive design that is based on the minimalist Material Design concept of Google which involves a lot of white space. Since the introduction of this design language, many apps have followed the same. The Dark Mode that we say in YouTube replaces the white UI with black. This can be accessed by clicking on your profile picture at the top. This new design is created on a faster framework dubbed Polymer. It is a JavaScript library that lets developers create reusable custom elements.
