> In the past, the Google Phone app had a dedicated toggle for dark mode within its in-app settings. The toggle would naturally flip depending on your system theme settings.

If you wanted to know how consistently dark mode was implemented when it shipped in Android 10 last year, the phone app *just* got an automatic dark mode. It used to have a dark mode, but you had to manually toggle it, which isn't exactly the idea of a system dark mode.
