Zomato Launches Dark Mode, Impressing Users – “Now, Ordering Pizza at Night Is Easier!”
Zomato, a popular food delivery platform, has introduced a new “dark mode” feature for its mobile app, announced by the company’s CEO, Deepinder Goyal, on September 5, 2024. This new update is being rolled out gradually, with 100% availability by September 8.
In a social media post, Goyal welcomed users to the “dark side” and shared that the feature is now available to 30% of app users, with more getting it soon. The dark mode allows users to enjoy a dimmer interface while using the app, which is perfect for late-night food orders. It reduces the bright glare from screens, making it easier on the eyes, especially in low-light environments.
User Reactions to Zomato’s Dark Mode
The response from Zomato’s users has been overwhelmingly positive. Many customers appreciated the new feature, especially those who frequently order late at night. One user, Dinesh, commented that the new dark mode prevents him from being “blinded by the flashing light on [his] phone” while ordering pizza from his couch at 11 PM.
Other users have praised the dark mode for providing a more comfortable user experience. Some even joked about switching from competing platforms like Swiggy if they don’t implement a similar feature soon.
Zomato’s Market Success
Alongside the dark mode update, Zomato has been performing well in the stock market. On Thursday, its shares rose by 4.94%, closing at ₹254.90. This growth was driven by JP Morgan’s increased target price for Zomato shares, which they raised to ₹261.60, citing the company’s successful expansion of its Blinkit service in major cities.
Conclusion
Zomato’s introduction of dark mode not only improves user experience but also shows how the company listens to its customers. With positive feedback from users and strong stock performance, Zomato continues to make waves in the food delivery and e-commerce space.
