Movie lovers mostly prefer night time to watch their favourite movies on Apple TV. The streaming device from Apple is now updated with the tvOS 11. However, in its tvOS 10 update, Apple has rolled out an important feature; by using this feature, users were able to use Apple TV in darker-lit rooms. A step further, Apple has introduced a better feature in tvOS 11; as per this feature, you can set Apple TV to switch between light and dark mode automatically.
This new feature was launched on September 2017, and with this, Apple TV users can easily change light and dark mode automatically on their Apple TV devices. You can enjoy this feature on any Apple TV supported by tvOS 11 or later version.

Step #2: Now tap on General and then select Appearance.
Step #3: Here, you need to select appearance of user interface.

- Dark: When you enable Dark home screen background and menus, you can easily read movie posters, icons and other details at night.
- Automatic: This will make Apple TV switch its appearance from Light mode (during day) to Dark mode (during night).
