Whether you’re scrolling listings from bed or dreaming about your next move under the stars, Dark Mode makes late-night Zillow surfing easier on the eyes. 

With Dark Mode being one of our most requested features, it was the perfect time to refresh the app’s design. Today, 82% of smartphone users already use Dark Mode. This feature syncs automatically with your device’s system-wide settings or, if you prefer, you can toggle it manually in the app.

And with more than 2.4 billion visits to Zillow in the first quarter of 2025 alone, home browsing has become more than a utility; it’s a beloved pastime. It’s a simple switch, but it’s one with a meaningful impact for Zillow’s hundreds of millions of home shoppers.

Why Dark Mode? 

Dark Mode isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s a smarter, more comfortable way to browse Zillow. It reduces screen glare and eye strain in low-light settings and can improve accessibility for those with light sensitivity or visual impairments.

And for those constantly running their battery at 5%, good news: Dark Mode can help you stretch its life. On OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens, darker themes can reduce power consumption by up to 60%, making your home search easier on the eyes and your battery.

Your midnight move starts here

Dark Mode is part of Zillow’s ongoing vision to turn real estate dreams into reality. Whether you’re buying, selling, renting or just browsing for fun (you’re not alone), this update makes it easier to do it your way, day or night.

Dark Mode is available now on the Zillow iOS app. Android users can also enable Dark Mode by toggling it on or off in the app’s settings. Update your app to get started — your eyes (and battery) will thank you.
