Snapchat has made a big update by allowing Android users to activate dark mode without requiring a Snapchat+ subscription. Previously, dark mode had been accessible only to paid subscribers, but the app has now reversed this decision, as Android expert Mishaal Rahman reported on X.
According to IANS, Rahman expressed his satisfaction with the change, noting that locking dark mode behind a paywall seemed unnecessary. While the support page still states that Snapchat+ is needed for early access to dark mode on Android, users are finding that this is no longer the case.
