Key notes

  • The Apple Music app is available for Mac, iOS, and Android devices, but conspicuously missing in Windows. 
  • Windows users have the sole option of navigating Apple Music using the web browser. 
  • For browsers that do not have a Dark Mode setting, the feature can be enabled in the system's Settings app. 

Music audio and video streaming have become a huge thing, and the evolution of web browsers has made this possible. Apple Music is one such streaming platform, and we shall explore customization for its Dark Mode setting.

Before diving into it, note that the Apple Music app is only available on Apple devices and Androids, but not on PC. Many users prefer the experience of using Apple Music on a browser.

With that said, let’s discuss some customization.

Does Apple Music have Dark Mode on PC?

You will need a browser to listen to Apple Music on a PC. Unfortunately, web Apple Music does not have a Dark Mode setting, but you can configure this on the operating system. Doing this can produce the Apple Music Dark Mode effect on browsers like Chrome.

Is Dark Mode better for your eyes?

The Dark Mode is sometimes more aesthetically pleasing and gentler on the eyes than the light one.

There are many customizable features of Apple Music; here are a few we like to recommend:

  • Customize the library – You can decide what tabs appear or don’t on your music library.
  • Music update – You can use the For You to display your new music and music Apple thinks you may like.
  • Love and Like buttons – You can use these buttons to help Apple figure out your music taste.
  • Lyrics – You can choose to view music lyrics by clicking on the menu while a song is playing.

Depending on your device, you can employ different solutions if you need your Apple Music browser to display in Dark Mode.

Generally speaking, universal color settings on your devices will usually affect your browser. And this will also work on other sites you visit or applications you use on your device.
