Snapchat introduces Dark Mode for Free on Samsung Galaxy smartphones

Are you a Snapchat user who was clamouring for Dark Mode for free feature on handsets? If yes, then your prayers have been answered by Snapchat. In this guide, you will get to know Snapchat introduces Dark Mode for Free on Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

When Dark Mode arrived for Android and iOS devices back in 2019, developers quickly added support for this feature in their apps. Snapchat was among those names that quickly added the “Dark Mode” feature.

However, Snapchat only added support for the “Dark Mode” feature to its iOS app, which left millions of Android users extremely disappointed. Eventually, Samsung decided to add support for the Dark Mode feature to its app for Android but ended up locking it behind the Snapchat+ premium subscription. This subscription costs users $4 per month. Luckily, Snapchat users on Android don’t have to worry about it anymore. Snapchat’s Android app will be getting Dark Mode for free for all users.

Dark Mode for Free

According to recent reports, the Snapchat app for Android will now allow users to apply Dark Mode to the interface even if they do not have a Snapchat+ subscription. This will come as great news for people who use the social media platform on their Android devices for a long period of time as the dark mode feature will help them reduce strain on their eyes.

Snapchat developers will be adding Dark Mode for free to all Android users with an update to the app (v12.46.0.51). For activating the Dark Mode for free, you should head over to Settings -> App Appearance and select “Always Light”. The app will tell you to restart it to apply the change. Now, you should click on the “Restart Now” button for applying the Dark Mode.

You should remember that once you apply the Dark Mode, the app will not switch back to Light Mode automatically when you apply the light mode theme on the OS interface. You will need to switch back to Light Mode in Snapchat settings manually.
