How to activate night mode
Instagram has been one of the latest applications to jump on the dark mode or night mode bandwagon. This feature has been available for a while.
But, contrary to what happens for example on Twitter, the dark option will not be found directly in the Settings of the application itself. And it is that the popular social network of photographs, comes with a continuous mode, so that you will not be able to change the settings directly in it.

So if you want to use the dark mode on instagram, you will simply have to go to the settings of your device, and from there, configure the dark mode. All this if your phone is “suitable” to activate it.
And how do we activate the dark mode on our phone? Well, we simply have to go to Settings> Display.
There we will find the option that we will have to select so that the background of our applications turns black.
In the event that we want to deactivate the night mode, we will have no choice but to change the mode for the entire phone. There is no way to change it only on Instagram, at the moment.
On which Android phones is it available?
It is important to keep in mind that the possibility of using this dark or night mode is not available on all mobiles. In principle, the dark screen is a characteristic of Android 10. Therefore, if your mobile has the latest version of the operating system, you can put the dark mode whenever you want.
But there are some brands that have added layers of customization that are a little ahead of the arrival of Android 10. This is the case of EMUI, the system used by Huawei phones. We can also find the dark mode on smartphones with MIUI, the system that Xiaomi mobiles usually use. In our case, the concrete version is the MIUI 10.3.15 with it we have been able to activate the dark mode.
Advantages and disadvantages of dark mode or night mode
Once we have activated the night mode in Instagram, we can see how the Instagram background stops being white to be completely dark. In this way, our sight will be less damaged when we are consulting the social network at night or in low ambient light. But, although that is its main function, no less negligible is that it also reduces the athery consumption. Therefore, it is quite a beneficial option for many users.
