Why Snapchat Dark Mode?
Your phone’s blue light is doing you harm rather than good; it’s straining your eyes. When you are Snapchatting at night, blue light can cause headaches and disrupt your sleep cycle. Due to this, many applications are offering updates, especially regarding dark mode. Many platforms, such as TikTok and Facebook, have already implemented this update, and now it’s time for Snapchat to do the same.
