In this article, I’ll tell you how to enable dark mode in Pinterest on iPhone and on PC.
On iPhones with iOS 13 and above, there is a built-in dark theme feature that changes the look of the device and applies to supported apps, including Pinterest. When dark mode is enabled on the iPhone, the interface of the device and apps becomes darker, using darker colors and shades.
To activate dark mode on the iPhone, you need to open the settings and select “Display and Brightness.” It’s also worth adding “Dark Mode” to the Control Center to be able to turn it on and off.
On PCs, unlike the iPhone, operating systems such as Windows or macOS do not provide a built-in dark mode feature for the browser. However, you can use browser extensions to add dark mode for web browsing, including Pinterest.
Various extensions are available in commonly used web browsers, such as Google Chrome and Safari, that change the color scheme of web pages to dark tones. To enable dark mode in these browsers, you need to install the appropriate extension.
