This opens the door for us to build more accessibility color palettes (we now have six!) and tools in the future. We’ll continue working to iterate on dark mode, but as always, let us know what you think so far 👇! Android: lights out will be available soon. Stay tuned!

Many moons ago in 2016, we introduced night mode (a theme we’ve now named “dim”) and since then, we’ve worked with external accessibility partners in addition to our design, research, and product teams to think of ways to make it even more accessible for a variety of needs.

In designing this update, we wanted to give everyone a comfortable experience on Twitter that adapts to any environment you’re in. Now with more options in dark mode, you have more control. Let’s walk you through some of the changes you’ll 👀 today!
