In 2019 the dark mode came to our phones. Operating systems, whether Android or iOS, and a multitude of applications gave the user the option of being able to use this mode with benefits, especially when viewing content. These apps include Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram has also reached a multitude of brands and mobile phones. Today we show you how to put Instagram in dark mode on Xiaomi , the fashion phone brand in the European and World market.
Dark mode is a change that occurs in the colors and brightness of the device. When dark mode is activated, it goes from a white background with black letters to a black or gray interface with white letters . The brightness of the screen is also reduced.
The use of this mode is important because it carries a series of advantages mainly for the visual health of the users. Bright screens cause symptoms of digital eyestrain, which translates into eye problems such as dry or blurred vision, neck and shoulder pain, or headache.
When we are in a rather dark area and the mobile screen has a lot of light and shines, the eyes are dazzled in addition to causing them dryness and itching. This mode reduces visual fatigue especially indoors and when we are in those dark areas. For this reason it is also known as night mode because it is normally activated at night when there is not much outside light.
If you are one of those who reads articles, posts or ebooks from the phone, the dark mode will greatly facilitate reading on the devices and will reduce the blinking of your eyes while you are looking at the screen.
In addition, the Google company has confirmed in a study that the use of night mode on OLED screens has been a great help for battery life. When we activate this mode we are saving up to 30% of the battery of our phone since it reduces the brightness of the screen quite a bit. Dark mode saves power especially on devices that have OLED or AMOLED displays.
It is not advisable to use the dark mode in places with a lot of light , whether natural or artificial. The dark mode activated in very bright places causes eye strain and difficulty in reading for long texts.
INSTAGRAM NIGHT MODE
In 2020, Instagram introduced the option of being able to put the night mode in its mobile application. In the case of Xiaomi brand phones, they allow up to two ways to put the night mode in the Instagram application that works on these devices. We show you which are these two ways to activate the night mode.
If you want the night mode on Instagram to be activated when you also put it on the entire phone and not only in this application, you have to configure it in the app of this social network. To do this, open Instagram on your Xiaomi phone and click on the image of your profile that you have in the lower right part of the screen. Then click on the three lines at the top and click on “Settings”. Now you just have to go to “Theme” and check the option “Default by the system”.
If, on the other hand, you want to configure the night mode only on Instagram regardless of the mode that is active in the rest of the applications and the phone’s operating system, you must open the application and also go to the “Settings” and “Themes” sections. There you must select the “dark” mode. The interface of the Instagram application will change and the dark mode will be active.
