Dark mode Snapchat+ for Android
The premium Snapchat tier also comes with a Snapchat+ badge for bragging rights and the privilege to get first dibs on “exclusive, experimental and pre-release features.” Perhaps this is the reason that dark mode on the Snapchat’s Android app will be introduced for paying Plus tier subscribers only.
Snapchat claims 375 million daily active users as of March, with about a third of them in India, but its growth has slowed compared to rival TikTok. Needless to say, introducing dark mode gentler on your eyes while snapping at night is unlikely to buck this trend. It remains to be seen if only Snapchat+ subscribers will get it, or they’ll just be the early birds who get the shady worm.
