We all are aware that Snapchat has not yet released a dark mode feature for devices running the Android operating system. But here we have a sneaky little workaround you can use right away to secretly enable dark mode in Snapchat for Android, without any mod.
The solution is simple. Download and install the older version of Snapchat and enable dark mode on your phone through settings. Voila, now you won’t go blind by opening the app at night or in low-lit areas.
Nevertheless, for those who are less tech-savvy, we do have a step-by-step guide for you. And you will be rocking Snapchat with the dark mode in no time.
Steps To Get Snapchat With Dark Mode Compatibility
