Most people like the bright light appearance of their phone screen while others do not. Although many mobile devices use the light theme as their default, there are other themes also available.

The use of dark mode themes adjusts the colors on your screen for a darker appearance. This has its advantages as the use of dark mode not only reduces the battery consumption but it also reduces your exposure to blue light which affects your ability to sleep.

Initially, this feature was not available on the Instagram app even though you can turn on the dark mode on the device settings of some Android (Android 10 and above) and IOS (IOS 13 and above) devices. By turning on the dark theme in your device’s settings, you may see it activated on several apps, not just Instagram.

But due to the high demand for the theme and its user-friendliness, apps like Instagram, Twitter, Google Chrome, and a few others have upgraded to include this theme which can easily be accessed from the app settings.
