Settings has a search box and a table of contents at the top. Type, for example, “theme” or “backup” to jump straight to it.

Display and dark mode

In Display, choose the theme Match system, Light, or Dark, and the amounts when the app opens:

  • As last left: amounts are shown or hidden the way you last left them.
  • Always shown.
  • Always hidden: amounts are always masked when the app opens, good if others often borrow your phone.

Display settings apply to that device only and don’t sync. Everything else syncs to all your devices.
