14 DAY TRIAL // Twitter has announced that it has updated its Android application with a night mode option. The company has been tweaking the feature for quite some time now, and back in May, there was word that Twitter was testing it in an alpha version of the app.
Now it seems that the night mode feature will be going live to all users who have the application installed on their Android smartphones. Twitter’s night mode allows users to switch to a dark background when browsing inside the application.
The feature is very useful, especially since many users enjoy browsing through their phone during the night and don’t wish to turn on the lights that would surely be bothersome to the eyes.
In addition, the mode shifts the white background to a deep navy tone and turns all the text white. The switch to a darker background in low-light conditions is better for the eyes, and users even have the option to keep the night mode on during the day.
Twitter’s night mode doesn’t come with automatic toggle based on time of the day or lighting conditions, but the switch to night mode is made quite easily. Users simply need to swipe the screen right to access the menu and toggle the night mode on or off.
The new feature is available on the latest Twitter for Android version, on Google Play store. Twitter night mode isn't available on the iOS version of the app.
