After Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp it’s snapchat who recently introduced a dark mode option for its iPhone and Android users.
The new-all black scheme makes it easier to handle the phone in the dark, not only that but adds a bonus in saving the battery life.
It’s easier for the eyes too.
It’s a trend in apps now, switching to dark mode (also called night mode).
Google chrome too has introduced this option for mobile phones, laptops, tabs and PC. If you are using iPhone it will be easy to apply your dark theme on snapchat, but it is going to be a little trickier if you have an Android. Don’t worry we have a solution for this too. Let’s start how to get dark mode on snapchat.
If you are an iPhone user you need to start off with opening your social media app snapchat profile and then follow the steps that are given below.
Click the icon on the top left of the screen that looks like a cogwheel, by clicking that you are actually clicking on the setting menu.
After opening the setting option click on ‘my account’.
After doing so, you will notice an option that says ‘app appearance’.
Once you have clicked the above option, you will be given three different options more like : Always Light, Always Dark, and Match System.
Now you will choose what you want to, but since we are talking about how to get dark mode on Snapchat, you will have to choose the second option.
By choosing it, your phone will permanently switch over to dark mode while other things stay the same as before.
If you select Match System, then the app will be tuned with your iPhone’s system. Therefore Snapchat will follow suit if you use scheduled dark mode on iOS.
To enable dark mode, each Android phones have different settings. So for Android phones like Oppo, Vivo, or even OnePlus, there are different and easier ways to turn dark mode.
Open Settings on your phone and tap “Display & Brightness.” Then click on “Dark mode setting.” Here adjust the dark mode on your phone.
Next, click on “Dark mode for third-party apps (Beta),” there you will see a list of apps. These apps support the forced dark mode option.
From the list here, locate Snapchat and enable the toggle. This will confirm you chose “Turn on” the dark mode on Snapchat.
Now open the Snapchat app and enjoy it in dark mode.
If you are a user of an Android phone, it can be a little difficult to apply Dark Mode on your phone. As Snapchat hasn’t released its dark mode option to the public yet.
Therefore you need to activate Developer Mode, which generally gives you access to how your phone functions.
Without further ado let’s begin how to get Dark Mode on Snapchat on an Android. Kindly follow the steps given below.
Activate Dark Mode on your entire device, by going to settings and clicking on the Display menu.
In some phones, if you apply Dark Theme on your entire device then Snapchat might enable Dark Mode too. If you have other phones like Samsung, OnePlus, Redmi, then there are some steps you need to go through.
Once you have selected Dark Mode on the entire device, scroll down and go to the About Phone section.
Search for the Build Information section, which you might get under a submenu called Software Information.
Now that you have found it, click on Build Information 6 times, as it is going to activate the Developer Mode.
The second last step on how to get a dark mode on Snapchat is to go back to the settings and select the new Developer Option. It has already appeared on your menu.
Now toggle the Force Dark Mode panel into ‘on’ and you will finally see that your Snapchat is running in Dark Mode.
