How to Enable Dark Mode on Snapchat

Do you want to enable dark mode on Snapchat, but not sure how? Would you need to pay to use dark mode on Snapchat’s Android app? There was a time when Snapchat’s dark mode feature was readily available for iPhone users, while Android users had to subscribe to Snapchat+ for this. Thankfully, this is no longer the case, and you can enable Dark mode on Snapchat for free, irrespective of whether you use an iPhone or Android.

How to Link Snapchat’s Dark Mode to Your iPhone’s Dark Theme

Unlike Snapchat’s Android app, the iOS app offers four options under app appearance. Among these options, you can choose the Match System option to link Snapchat’s dark mode to the system’s appearance settings.
