Enabling dark mode on TikTok for iOS is straightforward:
- Open the TikTok app and tap on your profile icon in the bottom right
- Tap on the 3-dot menu icon in the top right and select “Settings and privacy”
- Under “Content & Activity”, tap on “Dark mode”
- Select the “Dark” option to turn on dark mode
This will make menus, profiles, and other sections of the app dark, while video feeds stay the same. You can also sync TikTok’s appearance to your device’s display settings.
On Android
Unfortunately, TikTok has not yet officially released a built-in dark mode for Android. However, there are a couple of workarounds:
- Enable system-wide “Dark theme” under Display settings in Accessibility. This will force a dark theme on TikTok along with other compatible apps.
- Use a third party app like Darq or Night Eye to force enable dark mode only on TikTok.
However, these workarounds may not work perfectly or cause issues with live streams in the app. Many users are still waiting for TikTok to officially launch dark mode support on Android.
On Desktop
There is no official way to enable dark mode on the TikTok website or desktop app currently. However, browser extensions like “Dark theme for TikTok” can be used to apply a custom dark theme when accessing TikTok on a desktop or laptop browser.
I hope this gives you a comprehensive overview of the current state of dark mode support on TikTok and how to enable it where possible. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!
