How do I turn on Dark Mode for Instagram?

Dark Mode adjusts the colors on your screen for a darker appearance. To turn on Dark Mode for Instagram, go to your ios or Android device settings.

The latest mobile operating systems now support dark modes, enabling you to turn down the lights on both iOS and Android apps, and Instagram joined the dark forces at the end of last year. Its latest release enables you to go fully dark, but if you've already installed it, you might be having trouble figuring out how to turn it on. And to be perfectly honest, we had exactly the same problem.
Not to worry, though, because after a bit of hapless faffing around in Instagram, we worked it out. It turns out you can't turn dark mode on from within the Instagram app; you need to go into your phone's settings to sort it out, because why on earth would they make things easy for us?
Keep in mind that:
  • You’ll need to update your device’s operating system to iOS 13 or Android 10 as well as your Instagram app.
  • By turning on Dark Mode in your device’s settings, you may see Dark Mode activated on several apps, not just Instagram.

Dark Mode on iOS


  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Press Display & Brightness.
  3. At the top, you'll see two configurations for Light or Dark. Press Dark. You're in Dark Mode!

Dark theme for Android



  1. You'll need to be running Android 10 and – of course – have the latest version of Instagram installed.
  2. Go into Settings > Display and tap Advanced
  3. Select Dark from the Device theme menu
  4. Start up Instagram and glory in the gloom!
