Google Maps for iPhone gets a long-awaited feature

At last ! It took a long time for Google to deploy this feature on the iPhone. Google Maps is getting its dark mode on iOS.

Google has just announced a new update to Google Maps, a few days after the arrival of new widgets. These two widgets provide access to preconfigured searches, and provide you with traffic information or a specific location.

A dark mode, finally!

In the next few days, you will be able to discover the dark mode of Google Maps on iPhone. You can simply activate it via the settings. It's strange that it took so long for this feature to be integrated into Maps on iOS. You can already enjoy it on Android for a long time, even though the full dark mode only rolled out this year.
