HOW TO ACTIVATE THE INSTAGRAM DARK MODE
To activate dark mode on an iPhone, users need iOS 13 because the new display option is only accessible through Apple’s new settings.
After opening the Settings menu, users need to tap Display and Brightness and press the Dark option on the right. Instagram will then flip automatically to the theme.
Android 10 users can activate it in a similar way by turning on the dark theme option in the menu settings.
Also, the Instagram’s dark mode can also be activated from within the app’s settings for Android phone owners, even if they don’t have the latest version of Google’s operating system.
Dark mode is the preferred appearance for some people because it’s easier on the eyes. Google rolled the theme for the Gmail app last month. The company said the theme prolongs battery life because darker pixels require less power than lighter ones. On some displays, black pixels require no power at all.
This theme is poular on several platforms and devices, including Twitter (TWTR), Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Google’s Chrome browser, Windows 10 and Apple’s iOS and MacOS software.
Though Facebook (FB), which owns Instagram, doesn’t yet have support for dark mode but is testing it according to multiple reports.
Dark mode is currently available for Facebook Messenger’s app.
