Describe the solution you'd like

Since introduction of light mode I would like a request to include follow system theme of either light or dark mode based on system theme. Example apps such as ivory for iOS. I also want to request OLED dark mode which will allow devices with OLED displays to save on battery with dark mode.

Dev article for iOS UiKit.

As an update I should add this feature as well for Android

+1 for this. Would be great to have a "black" mode to take advantage of oled.
