You may know that YouTube has a dark mode for nighttime viewing, but did you know that Twitter also has a mode for nighttime tweeting? Or any scenario where you find the white background too bright? iOS has something approximating dark mode among other hidden features, but it's more effective to enable it on an app-by-app basis.
How to enable Night mode on Twitter for iOS
- Open Twitter
- Tap your profile in the top left
- Tap Settings and privacy
- Tap Display and sound
- Toggle on Night mode
With Night mode enabled, the background turns from white to black and text turns from black to white. But the colors of images and other art elements aren't inverted. If you're catching up on Twitter before heading off to bed, Night mode can make it easier on your eyes.
