hello and welcome to this video today
i'm going to show you exactly how you
can use
instagram in dark mode or light mode
depending on your preference
so the default for most phones these
days is being able to choose
whether or not anything is in light mode
or dark mode
as you can see in my instagram right now
i'm in light mode
and you might be driving yourself crazy
trying to go into these settings
and figure out how to flip it to match
your dark mode if you use your phone in
dark mode if you use
other apps you'll notice that they
always have this toggle to choose
between
a full dark mode or a light mode
i will tell you now that you will not be
able to find this dark
mode toggle in the instagram settings
anywhere
so don't waste your time trying to find
them let me show you exactly how you're
going to enable this for yourself
instagram has worked with apple and
android devices
so that it seamlessly interacts with how
your phone
is set up so if your phone is set up on
light mode
your instagram interface is also going
to be on light mode
if you switch that over to dark mode
instagram will follow suit and
everything you see
will be in dark mode so here is how you
do it
i'm using an older version of an iphone
so for me to get to my settings i'm
going to be swiping up
from the bottom like this but you might
actually have to swipe
down if you are on an android or a later
model of an iphone
we're going to click here into our
brightness settings
now in order to go up and down here with
our brightness you're just going to
scroll up and down
but to go into the exact settings we're
going to press and hold that
so that it brings up this second set of
menu
on the left down the bottom there you'll
see this dark mode
off sign which is actually our toggle
between
light and dark mode for the entire phone
if i press that right now and it
switches everything
to a to a dark mode that is going to
directly affect the interface of our
instagram let's go back and have a
little look together
and you'll see that i have already
changed this into
a dark mode all the pictures have this
dark background
all the interface down the bottom all
has white icons on a black
background so there is dark mode on
instagram if i want to switch back
at any point go back to your settings
menu for me it's swiping up for you it
might be swiping down
go into that brightness and just switch
that and toggle it back
off so that we're back into light mode
and that is how you toggle between light
and dark mode
on instagram
hey
