I get the idea of ios/android apps supporting dark theme, but since when did this concept apply to websites?

Through the prefers-color-scheme CSS media query [1], a draft [2] that is already implemented in mainstream browsers.

Websites can write stylesheets specifically for light or dark preferences. Browsers currently derive this information from the operating system's preferences.

How did you change theme to Dark?

Happened automatically on my device, probably because I have macOS running in dark mode. It's a feature. Switch your OS to the color scheme and language you prefer and websites / apps should adjust accordingly. Should. We're not quite there yet.

You set your OS' system theme to Dark, and the browser should pass this information on to websites.
