How to get dark mode on Snapchat for iOS and Android

SNAPCHAT has the very cool feature of dark mode, which makes it easier to view at night.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up the lower light version on your phone.

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.

Dark mode on Snapchat is available for iPhone users.

• First of all, you need to go to your profile by clicking your photo in the top-left corner.

• Next, you need to select settings by tapping the gear icon.

• Scroll down until you find App Appearance under the "My Account" section.

There are three options, Match System, Always Light, and Always Dark.

• By tapping Always Light, you set up the light feature on Snapchat permanently while with Always Dark you will get the dark mode.

• By choosing Match System, your Snapchat app will be in sync with your iPhone system settings.

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.

How to enable Dark Mode in Snapchat for Android

Android has been testing Dark Mode but it hasn't been released to the public yet.

However, there is an alternative you can try that will allow Snapchat to run in Dark Mode.

• First, you need to go to your Settings and select Accessibility.

• Next, you have to go to the "colour and motion" section.

• Choose Dark Mode which will activate the black theme across all of Android.

• Then you have to return to Settings and scroll all the way to the bottom until you find About Phone.

• Choose Software Information, then tap the Build Number several times.

You have now activated the Developer mode.

• Next, go to Settings and choose the new Developer Options, where you'll find a Force Dark Mode panel.

• Toggle that to the "on" position, and you'll find that Snapchat now runs in Dark Mode.
