About This Feature
Overview
Night Mode is a built-in display feature in WPS Office for Android. It changes the document background to a dark color and displays text in a lighter color, making documents more comfortable to read and edit at night or in low-light environments.
Core capabilities include:
- Turn on Night Mode: Switch the page background to a dark color to reduce visual strain from a bright screen.
- Keep document content unchanged: Only the on-screen display changes, while document content, collaboration view, and print output stay the same.
This feature is useful for reading documents at night, reviewing content in low-light environments, and viewing text-heavy files on a mobile device for longer periods.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, you can turn on Night Mode inside a document through Tools > View. It changes the background to a dark color and the text to a lighter color, and it only affects display. | Word offers Dark Mode for menu controls and the document background, and it also lets users switch back to a light page preview. | Google Docs on Android supports Dark, Light, and System default themes, and it also lets users preview a document in light theme. | Notion provides Always light, Always dark, and Use system setting controls for dark mode preferences. | Acrobat for Android provides dark (Night) mode and notes that some reading modes do not work together with Dark Mode. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry is directly available inside the document view path, which is convenient for quick switching while reading or editing. Distinct: It changes only the display effect and does not alter the document itself. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page mainly describes Windows, Mac, and web behavior, so the Android path is not covered in the same help page. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs places theme settings in app settings, while light-theme preview is handled separately inside the document. | Compared with WPS: Notion's dark mode is a workspace-level display preference rather than a document-focused viewing entry. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF reading scenarios, and its official documentation states that Liquid Mode does not currently work in Dark Mode. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Night Mode is well suited to Android users who want to switch display style quickly after opening a document. If your focus is mobile document reading and light editing, WPS keeps the path close to the document itself, while other products more often combine dark display with app-level theme settings or file-type-specific workflows.
