Snapchat is a great way to connect with your friends through pictures and emojis, but all’s fun and games until you need to reply to a Snap using the blinding white user interface in the middle of the night.
For years Android users have been asking for a dark mode on Snapchat, and the prayers have finally been heard, albeit with a price tag attached to it. Read on to discover how you can enable dark mode on Snapchat on any Android device.
How to Enable Snapchat Dark Mode Using Snapchat+
Apart from the obvious visual improvements, using a dark mode has other helpful benefits. Using a night mode of some sort can help with readability as well as reduce eye strain. On certain phones with AMOLED displays, switching to a dark mode actually contributes using less battery power.
Unfortunately, unlike iPhone users, those using Snapchat on Android need to purchase a Snapchat+ subscription in order to unlock the dark mode that comes bundled alongside a slew of other features.
Once you have a subscription to Snapchat+, switching to the night mode is quite simple:
You should now be able to enjoy a refreshed interface. Everything from your friends list to conversations, and even the map gets a new coat of paint.
Obviously paying for a subscription every month just so you could enjoy such a basic feature isn’t worth it. Fortunately, there is a plethora of otherfeatures in Snapchat+that are all genuinely useful if you use them right.
