Our money is on a sizeable number of Twitter users turning on night mode and leaving it on, whatever time of day. Frankly the glare of a white interface is just not cool especially at night. Ever tried to read a notification that has woken you up in the middle of the night?

Naturally Twitter announced night mode, on their own platform, attaching a helpful GIF image for whoever’s slow on the uptake. Check it out below: Now on Android! Turn on night mode to Tweet in the dark. ?https://t.co/XVpmQeHdAk pic.twitter.com/vrIDEM22vO A number of apps have wised up and now include a night mode. There are even unconfirmed reports that Googles’ upcoming flavor Nougat will have an inbuilt system night mode/dark theme. This is very good news seeing as much as we love smartphones with a high pixel density, tearing from the glare isn’t so cool.

There actually is a ‘night mode’ sort of hack on Android AKA color inversion in Accessibility settings but it looks horrible. We wonder why it’s even a feature to begin with. Some Android browsers such as Dolphin and UC Browser have a night theme already in place.

Hopefully we will get to see one for chat apps like WhatsApp and Telegram. Featured Image: socialbarrel.com
