Do you know that the Snapchat app comes with dark mode features? Let’s get you started on how to turn on dark mode on Snapchat for Android and iPhone devices.

Just like the TikTok dark mode feature, Snapchat's Dark appearance isn’t available for Android users yet but there’s a way to go around it. 

iPhone users on their end can switch to dark mode from their Snapchat account settings easily. 

Although, the Snapchat app is configured to use the light theme by default which most users have been using that way, especially those who utilize it for just taking photos and video clips. 

Also, recall that dark mode helps reduce eye strain and also improves watch time on a particular app.  

So, here’s a detailed guide that’ll show you how to get Snapchat dark mode on your Android and iOS devices. 

How to Make your Snapchat Dark Mode on iPhone  

As discussed earlier, the Snapchat dark mode has been available to iOS users from far back as 2019 and here’s here to apply it to the Snapchat app.

2. Click on your Bitmoji to enter your profile 
3. Tap on the setting icon at the top right corner of your screen 
4. Navigate to “App Appearance” 
5. Select “Always Dark” from the given options

How to Make Snapchat Dark Mode on Android (No Root) 

Since the inception of the Snapchat app, the dark mode feature hasn’t got to android users, although there are rumours that beta android testers are making use of the feature. 

Also, a report says the dark mode feature is slowly rolling out and may not be available just yet for Android users but it’s high time we conclude that the dark mode feature might never be rolled out. 

This can be achieved by turning on override force-dark mode in the developer options on your Android settings app.

4. Now, go back to System and select Developer Options

Although, this method might not work if your Android device is running on Android 10 or newer while in some cases of Android V5 lower – you might not see the override dark mode option. 

Also, there is an app called the blue light filter that helps you turn on dark mode without root. 

All it does is act as a display over your phone’s screen.
