There are multiple ways you can turn on this new add-on. However, the easiest way to get it done through Control Center.
Step #1. On iPhone 8 Plus or earlier, swipe up from the bottom. On iPhone X and later and on iPad swipe down from the top right corner to access Control Center.
Step #2. Now, you need to tap and hold the display brightness control option.
Step #3. Now, you should see a new option called “Appearance Light.” Tap on it, and the magic will take over your entire device in the blink of an eye.
It will darken the whole user-interface, and even showcase its appealing impact in all the apps (provided they comply with it.)

Then, depending on how you want to use Dark Mode, you can choose Sunset to Sunrise or go with a Custom Schedule as per your convenience. So, take full advantage of it to bolster your viewing.
Now, you probably already know how to disable it. Simply bring up Control Center → Touch and hold the brightness control button → Then tap on “Appearance Dark” and you are ready to go.
