Download latest Google Search and Google Assistant Dark Mode APK

Dark Mode or Dark Theme is the hottest topic in Android development right now. All the mainstream Android app developers are now rolling out Dark Mode support for their apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Reddit etc. This also includes Google’s ecosystem with the stunning Android Messages, Google Photos, YouTube, Chrome, News, and more. Today, Google’s most anticipated Search and Google Assistant apps are receiving dark mode via beta. Once the Google Search app is enabled with dark mode, the Google Assistant app will also automatically show dark theme as well.

Some apps like Messages and YouTube have the dark mode toggle right under the settings menu. However, for the Google app, it’s a server side switch. Apparently, the latest Google app beta is now getting the dark mode / night mode / dark theme across all devices globally. We will use the same technique to enable dark mode for Google’s Search and Assistant apps that we used for the Play Store dark theme. However, you will also need to toggle the Android’s devices’ Dark Mode or Night Mode (for Samsung) from the quick panels settings.

Android 10 and 9 Pie firmware update officially introduced dark mode for most smartphones including many third-party smartphone manufacturers as well. This includes Samsung phones with their popular OneUI firmware, OnePlus with Oxygen OS 10, Xiaomi devices with MIUI 10, Huawei with EMUI 9, or the Pixel phones based on stock Android 9 Pie or later. On Samsung OneUI, you will find this option termed Night Mode available right in the quick settings panel. For Xiaomi’s MIUI 10 you may need to manually enable dark it via simple ADB commands. OR, if your device have already received MIUI 11, it has a default dark theme option. Google Pixel, OnePlus, or Essential Phones can also force enable dark mode from Developer Settings to turn on dark mode for most apps. The name may vary from device manufacturer. It could be dark theme, dark mode, or night mode.

The dark mode Google Search app comes with v10.96.12.21.arm64 or later. The dark mode for Google Assistant comes with the same build of the Google app. The assistant app is a part of the search app now. So when the Google app has an activated dark mode, the Google Assistant app will too. In order to activate it, all you need to do is install the latest beta version from the Play Store onto your device. The latest APK links is available in the tutorial below. If the new design doesn’t show up immediately after the update, then you will need to force stop the app and restart it once.
