Twitter for iOS gets true dark mode: Here's how it works

Night Mode is one of the most requested features in any application right now. Facebook Messenger recently got dark mode and even popular cross-platform messaging app, WhatsApp is working on something similar. Even though Twitter had it for a couple of years now, it was not black, which meant no advantage for OLED panels.

Now, finally, the company is rolling out a true dark mode for its iOS application. The new dark mode will switch the user interface (UI) elements to pitch black. This will relatively improve battery life on smartphones with OLED panels. The company made the announcement via its official Twitter handle. They also attached a GIF showing how to setup the new dark mode.

How to setup the new dark mode?

• Update the Twitter app via Apple App Store
• Now open the app and tap on your profile picture on the top left corner
• Head over to "Settings and privacy"
• Look for Display and sound section and tap on that
• Here you can turn on Dark Mode. However, you will also need to enable "Lights Out" in order to get the true black user interface
