The Android community’s affinity for dark mode has grown so profound that it’s almost a staple feature anticipated on new Android devices. Well, the wait is over, as the allure of dark mode has finally extended its embrace to Snapchat on Android. Let’s delve into the details of this intriguing development.
Snapchat Dark mode on Android
Snapchat had introduced dark mode to its iOS app back in 2021, but Android users had long been yearning for their turn at basking in the comfort of dimly lit screens. Despite having a larger user base on Android than iOS, the feature remained elusive for Android users. Earlier this year, a glimmer of hope emerged as Snapchat introduced support for dark mode on Android; however, there was a catch—it was gated behind a subscription fee. Only those who subscribed to “Snapchat+” for $4 per month could savor the elegance of dark mode.
The tides have now shifted, bringing relief to Android users. The app is officially rolling out dark mode functionality to all Android users, without any financial barriers. This turning point was first noticed by developer Shubnam on Twitter, who shared a screenshot showcasing the toggle between bright and dark settings. This change was also observable on various devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 5. While switching themes necessitates a relaunch of the app and it currently doesn’t adhere to system-wide settings, the notable silver lining is that you no longer need to open your wallet to access this aesthetic delight.
To make the transition to dark mode, venture into the app’s settings menu and navigate to “App Appearance.” There, you’ll find the cherished option to embrace the soothing embrace of dark mode, completely free of charge.
