In there a PS App setting to change the display theme?

There currently isn’t a setting inside of the official PlayStation App that will let you change the theme to night or day. Instead, the app’s display theme is linked directly to the display theme of the device it is installed on.

For example, if you set your smartphone to a light theme, then the PS App will display dark texts over a white background.

If you decide to use a dark theme for your phone instead, then the application will display light-colored texts over a black background.
