Back in 2019, dark mode adoption for apps was at its high point. Everyone else was working on adding a dark mode to their apps. With the introduction of wide dark themes on iOS and Android, getting into the dark side became a breeze. When it comes to apps, though, Snapchat has to be the only one that didn’t go with the flow of the business. It took a long time, but the photo-focused messaging service finally added dark mode to iOS earlier this year. Android support is still coming soon. Here we will show you how to turn on Snapchat’s dark mode.
What is Dark Mode?
Dark Mode, which is also known as night mode, is a setting that changes the app’s color scheme to make it look dark. Another name for dark mode is bedtime mode. This is the setting for your screen if you want to stay up for a while with the lights off. If you like to use Dark Mode on Facebook and a lot of other apps, like Snapchat, you can.
You can use your smart device at night without straining your eyes or making it hard to sleep. Dark Mode makes this possible! Even some of the most popular apps on the market haven’t added a night mode yet. Also, read How to Delete Snapchat Account.
