Snapchat Drops Paywall for Dark Mode on Android: Now Available to All Users

Snapchat Drops Paywall for Dark Mode on Android

Snapchat has quietly dropped the paywall for dark mode on Android after previously requiring users to have a Snapchat+ subscription to access the feature. The company confirmed to AsumeTech on Tuesday that dark mode is now available to all users. The change was first spotted by Android Police.

Dark mode has been available to iOS users for free since 2021. When Snapchat made dark mode available to Android users earlier this year, it only did so exclusively for Snapchat+ subscribers.

Snapchat recently revealed that its subscription service has reached 4 million paid subscribers in its first year since launching. Snapchat+ costs $3.99 per month and gives subscribers access to experimental and pre-release features, along with custom app themes, unique app icons, the ability to pin your No. 1 BFF and more.

The subscription service is available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

This move by Snapchat to make dark mode available for all Android users without the need for a Snapchat+ subscription is likely to be welcomed by the user community. Dark mode has gained popularity among smartphone users due to its aesthetic appeal and potential benefits, such as reducing eye strain and saving battery life.

Users who were previously unable to access dark mode on Snapchat can now enjoy the feature without any additional cost. This decision by Snapchat may also encourage more users to explore the benefits of the Snapchat+ subscription, which offers additional exclusive features and customization options.
