Twitter: Enable night mode - how to do it

If you frequently use Twitter in low-light conditions, night mode can help protect your eyes from fatigue. This can be used both on the Twitter website and in the app. We explain here how to activate night mode step by step on your device.

This is how Twitter's night mode works

With Twitter's night mode, also known as Dark Mode, the background of the messaging service appears in a black-blue color. While the night mode was initially only available in the Twitter app, you can now set it up for the website as well. As the name suggests, using night mode is especially useful at night and in the evening, as the dark background is easy on your eyes.
