You can change the default display to Dark. This will help you reduce eye strain and extend the battery life. It also provides you with an improved sleep experience. Follow these steps to put Twitter in dark mode. Changing your browser&#8217;s default display to Dark Mode can also improve your sleep. If you use a mobile device, you can easily change the default settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Defaults_to_Lights_Out_mode\"><\/span>Defaults to Lights Out mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been noticing that the background of your desktop web page is too bright, you can enable the &#8216;Defaults to Lights Out mode&#8217; option. This feature will force your browser to use a dark theme instead of the default light-colored one. However, it&#8217;s important to note that this feature is only available on desktop browsers. If you prefer a light-colored theme, you can disable this setting on your Twitter web page by editing its settings.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has released a new dark theme for iOS that has the same functionality as its iOS counterpart. This dark mode uses true black instead of the usual blue tint that&#8217;s common with other apps. Twitter is also promising improved battery life in this new mode. It&#8217;s unclear when it will roll out to all users, but it&#8217;s likely to arrive in the near future. While iOS users have been able to use the feature for a while, Android users should be able to switch to Lights Out mode anytime.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reduces_eye_strain\"><\/span>Reduces eye strain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using Twitter in dark mode can help you save battery life and prevent eye strain. While the blue background may seem like a good thing, it doesn&#8217;t provide the same amount of contrast as true black. Using Twitter in dark mode can prolong battery life, and may even help you sleep better. You can enable the dark mode in your mobile device&#8217;s settings by tapping on the icon next to the dark blue background.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent digital eye strain, you should take breaks every two hours. Also, try to relax your eyes by stretching your eyes and taking a 20-foot break. Another tip is to visit your eye doctor for regular eye exams. A doctor can help you find out if dark mode is causing dry eyes or eye strain. You can also follow the 20-20-20 rule, which entails looking at something 20 feet away from your screen every 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extends_battery_life\"><\/span>Extends battery life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to put Twitter in dark mode, you&#8217;re not alone. Twitter recently announced a new dark mode option on Thursday. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey promised the feature would reduce eye strain. By using a black background, Twitter users will save on battery life and enjoy endless scrolling. Unfortunately, Twitter users on Android are not able to take advantage of this new feature.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, dark mode can also help you sleep better. The new Twitter app features two different dark themes: Lights Out and Dim. The latter theme will automatically turn on when you reach sunset. On both Android and iOS, you can select a dark theme by tapping on the profile picture. Once you&#8217;ve chosen a dark theme, tap on the &#8220;dark&#8221; icon in the menu at the top right of the screen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improves_sleep\"><\/span>Improves sleep<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first time Twitter rolled out a night mode for Android was in 2016. It then made its way to iOS and desktops in 2017. Founder and CEO Jack Dorsey has long been interested in sleep and wellbeing, and he&#8217;s not the only one. The social media platform is facing many problems and issues, including its reliance on a slew of users, who are often not the most restful.<\/p>\n<p>The BYU study also found that night shift functions do not actually improve sleep. This may be because the blue light emitted by mobile devices disrupts melatonin secretion and disrupts sleep cycles. Nonetheless, Night Shift was an excellent addition to smartphones. The feature automatically shifts screen colors to a warmer color when used after sunset. Android smartphones soon followed, and most phones now have the night mode option.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"259\" width=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WFq-7ClrvPQ\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Put Twitter in Dark Mode If you want to see your Tweets in a darker color, you should use the Dark Mode feature in the Twitter application.
