Why choose dark mode?
Dark Mode allows users to save battery. Also, prolonged use of a brighter screen can strain your eyes. In this post, we’ll share how to enable Smart Invert/Colour inversion and switch to Dark Mode in Snapchat. Located under Accessibility, Smart Invert reduces brighter colors and makes them dark except for the dark images, videos, and other dark elements of the phone.

Why use Smart Invert/Colour Inversion?
You can find the Accessibility feature on iPhone and Android devices. When you enable Smart Invert/ Colour Inversion, it inverts the color preventing the elements that are dark already. This feature is designed keeping in mind people with disabilities who can’t see. That said, this feature can be used to invert the colors of any app.
Why use the Smart Invert feature?
Some apps are far brighter and dark mode may not work as well as we want. Smart Invert helps keep the light low.
