How do I get dark mode on Snapchat for iOS?

Dark mode is a popular trend on apps because it's easier on the eyes in the dark.

There's nothing worse than loading up an app in bed, only to be assaulted by the bright glare of an all-white screen.

Many apps are now offering optional or mandatory Dark Mode settings to avoid this.

It's easy to do on iPhone and is slightly trickier (though still technically possible) on Android.

This means, if you have Dark Mode activated on your phone, it will be activated in Snapchat as well.

If you turn the feature off for your iPhone, the dark mode will also be switched off from Snapchat.
