Twitter Tests Scheduled Dark Mode Feature

(Twitter Tests ‘Dark Mode’ Scheduling)

Twitter now experiments with letting users schedule dark mode activation. This new option allows automatic switching between light and dark themes at preset times. Users in the test group can find this scheduling tool within their display settings.

The feature aims to give users more control over their app’s appearance. Many people prefer dark mode at night. It can be easier on the eyes in low light. Dark backgrounds might also save battery life on certain phone screens. Currently, users must switch themes manually. This scheduled option removes that step.

Test participants can set specific start and end times for dark mode. They choose when dark mode turns on. They choose when it turns back to light mode. This happens automatically every day. The test involves a small percentage of Twitter users globally. It’s available on both iOS and Android apps.

Twitter often tests new features with limited audiences. This helps gather feedback before a wider release. The company wants to see if users find scheduling useful. They will monitor how often people use it. There is no confirmed date for a full launch yet. It depends on the test results.

The move follows user requests for more customization. Other apps offer similar scheduling options. Twitter adding this feature aligns it with those services. Making the switch automatic could improve the overall experience. Users won’t need to remember changing it themselves.
