How To Put TikTok On Dark Mode? (Android)

This video-sharing platform doesn’t have the dark setting option on Android, so you will have to struggle a bit more to get it. You will need to run the lite version of the app for darker mode on Android, and you will have to force dark mode through your device settings.

So, here are the steps for Android dark mode on TikTok:

1. Download TikTok lite from Google play store and sign into it.
2. Open device Settings on your Android phone and scroll down to find the ‘About phone’ setting.
3. Select the Version setting and continuously tap on ‘Build number’ to enable developer mode.
4. Enter your screen lock password, and you will have access to developer settings.
5. Now go back to Settings options and look for ‘Developer settings.’
6. You will either find ‘Developer settings’ among all the settings, or you will find them in ‘Additional Settings.’
7. Scroll down in the ‘Developer settings’ to find the ‘Force dark mode’ and turn the toggle on.

Your lite version of the app should be converted to dark now. Unfortunately, you will not see this mode applied to the regular app. However, the lite app will automatically switch to the same mode when your device is in night mode.

While using TikTok at night, you might hurt your eyes with the light mode. The solution? Switch to TikTok dark mode! This only changes the TikTok interface and will not affect the content you are watching.

Making the app turn to night mode is easier on iPhone as TikTok has released the feature for iOS. But using the same feature on android takes a little more time. You need first to download the lite app, and then you need to forcefully turn on dark mode in developer settings on your device.
