How to get dark mode on snapchat

If you're an iPhone or Android user, you can already enjoy the dark mode features offered by your phone's operating system. But now Snapchat is giving its users the option to turn on a similar feature within their app, allowing people to see their snaps in a darker light, so to speak. If being on your phone for hours and hurting your eyes doesn't sound very appealing, if you love saving battery life when possible, or if you just like changing up your aesthetic from time to time, this new feature will be right up your alley.

Personalization is part of what makes Snapchat so great. No matter which phone you use and how it came set up out of the box, there are plenty of ways to express yourself and change it any way you want!

Open the Snapchat app.

Now that you've got dark mode installed on your phone, follow these steps to turn it on in the Snapchat app:

• Open the Snapchat app, and tap the yellow ghost icon at the top of your screen.

• Inside your profile, tap the gear icon in the upper righthand corner to access your settings.

• Scroll down until you see "App Appearance." Tap this option, and then select "Always Dark" from the drop-down menu. This will make all of Snapchat's menus and settings dark, even if you haven't turned on dark mode for your entire device yet. (You can always go back into App Appearance to turn Always Dark off later.)

Tap the yellow ghost icon at the top of your screen.

• Tap the yellow Ghost icon at the top of your screen to get to your Snapchat profile.

• Tap the ⚙️ button in the upper-right corner to open Settings, then select Manage Preferences > Additional Services > High Contrast Theme.

• Turn on the toggle switch next to Enable Dark Mode so that it is dark gray instead of light gray.

Inside your profile, tap the gear icon in the upper righthand corner to access your settings.

• Inside your profile, tap the gear icon in the upper righthand corner to access your settings.

• Scroll down until you see App Appearance. Tap this option and then select Dark from the dropdown menu.

Scroll down until you see "App Appearance."

Tap on the yellow ghost. Tap on the gear icon. Scroll down until you see "App Appearance." Select one of two options: Always Dark or Match System.

If you choose Match System, then your Snapchat will assume whatever mode your iPhone has been set to (light or dark). If you choose Always Dark, then your Snapchat will always appear in dark mode, regardless of the setting on your phone.

If you want to revert back to the default white background and black text color scheme, simply follow these same steps, but select Always Light.

Choose "Always Dark" for maximum darkness or "Match System" to follow your phone's system settings.

Although there are a couple of options available, the best one is to just set your snapchat app to always dark. This will mean that your snapchat app will be dark at all times and you don’t have to worry about it being too bright at night. It also makes it easier for you to read your messages from everyone because it will always be dark. If you like switching between light and dark depending on the time of day then you can choose “match system” for your snapchat app so that it follows the same settings as your phone does.

Your friend's Bitmojis will now be colored in dark mode as well!

Now, let's move on to the fun stuff. It's not just your own Bitmoji that can be viewed in ghostly black and white—your friends' Bitmojis will take on this look as well. It's a good idea to check in with your friends, though, because some people might not like the way their Bitmoji looks in dark mode. (Bitmojis are supposed to be an avatar of you—in other words, a "mini-me"—so it makes sense if you'd want yours to look as close as possible to reality.) However, if you don't mind the change, or even prefer it (as I do), your friend's Snapchat feed will always appear in dark mode once you turn on this setting for yourself.

It's also fun to see how your friends react when they see their Bitmoji in dark mode for the first time!

your Snapchat can be stylish, modern and easy on the eyes

If you’re looking for a simple way to make your phone easier on the eyes, dark mode is it. Snapchat recently released dark mode and it’s so easy to turn on that you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. Dark mode will change the background of your Snapchat from white to black (duh) and even change your friends' Bitmojis from flesh tones to black silhouettes! It may sound strange, but trust me when I say that seeing people's faces in pitch black will be weirdly liberating.

Conclusion

Dark mode can be a fun way to change up your Snapchat experience. Though it's only available in certain places and requires iOS 13, you can still use it if you have an Android device.

• Bitmojis are better in dark mode. If you're a fan of Snap's augmented reality feature, this update will make sure that your Bitmoji looks great no matter what mood you're in.

• You won't be blinded by bright white backgrounds in the dark. Snapchat has always been pretty easy on the eyes during the day, but now that it has embraced the darkness, users should have a much easier time using Snap after sundown.

• Your eyes will thank you for using dark mode on Snapchat. The updated interface makes night time scrolling a lot more comfortable—for your eyes, at least—so if you're someone who likes to stay up late snacking on Snaps from friends or watching Stories before bed, this update could make all the difference.
