shield to reduce eye strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some apps adapt to the mode our device is set to, other apps, such as TikTok, seem to set the light mode as the default for their app, so the user would have to switch to dark mode at will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some features on TikTok are still in beta testing, including the dark mode feature for Android users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, unlike other times when the Android device gets the update first before iOS users, the TikTok dark mode feature is only made available for iPhones and beta testers using Android devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, let\u2019s discuss alternative methods to enable dark mode for Android users and also the normal way to go about it for iOS users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
