Are you scrolling Twitter late at night, and a low-brightness solution is not enough for you? In that case, turn on Twitter dark mode and enjoy scrolling without straining your eyes. So, without further delay, let’s dive in!
What is Twitter Dark Mode?
X dark mode, aka Twitter night mode, is an aesthetically appealing feature that transforms the platform’s appearance. It changes the appearance of everything within the X website or mobile application. The backdrop switches from white to black, and the text switches from black to white.
However, images, videos, and other media colors remain the same. Also, you can change the default color for buttons from blue to available options. Currently, Twitter offers six colors to change the appearance of buttons, Twitter verification tickmarks, and other features.
Why People Would Prefer Twitter Night Mode?
You may be wondering why people would prefer an X dark mode. Well, apart from the inventive effect it provides other useful benefits. The default light mode may make the screen visible during the daytime. But some individuals find this view straining, especially at night or in dim light conditions. Twitter dark mode does not put so much pressure on your eyes. This feature is free to enable, which means you don’t have to buy Twitter Premium to enable night mode on Twitter.
We understand the people’s concerns regarding losing data or access to some functions on the platform by using the dark mode option. However, the dark interface does not impact X’s functionality or add more features. It only provides an appealing and comfortable effect that is easier on the eyes in a dim light environment.
Additionally, blue light outflow from devices breaks the production of melatonin that you need to fall asleep. But the X dark mode minimizes the blue light on your screen to help to sleep better.
