Twitter's Android app gets an eye-saving night mode

Attention night owls: Twitter is making it easier for you to use its app in the dark.

The company just updated its Android app and added a dark-themed mode for nighttime viewing. The feature should make late-night tweeting a little easier on your eyes.

You can find the feature in the app's main menu (under your profile icon or the hamburger icon) where you can easily switch it on or off. Once on, Night Mode switches the app to a darker color palette that's similar to to what Tweetbot and a few other third-party Twitter clients have had for some time.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

There's no official word yet on a similar feature for iOS, but we wouldn't be surprised if it was in the works.

In the meantime, iOS users can make do with Night Shift, Apple's feature for changing the color temperature of your display at night. Rolled out with iOS 9.3, the feature will kick in automatically once it starts to get dark to make looking at your devices at night a little less painful.

There may even be a similar feature in the works for Android Nougat, as an early version of the Android N preview contained a hidden Night Mode feature.
