Unlike iOS, Snapchat Dark Mode hasn’t been released for Android. It has been over 3 years since Dark Mode was released on iOS, which means it is unlikely to be coming to Android.

1. Open Settings
2. Scroll and select About phone
3. Scroll down to the Build number
4. Tap the Build number 5-10 times to enable Developer Mode
5. You will then see some text that says ‘you are now a developer‘
