With its mobile apps and its app for macOS, Twitter has introduced the Night Mode feature which basically gives the app a darker appearance. This helps users at night who want to avoid the glare of the app, and we guess to a certain extent it is for aesthetic reasons where some users might prefer a darker look.
That being said, this feature was not made available to desktop users (save for macOS users who use the dedicated Twitter app), at least until now. It has been noticed that Twitter is testing out a Night Mode for desktop users, as you can see in the screenshots above. It basically gives the entire website a darker look and feel to it.
However like we said, the feature currently appears to be in testing which means that it isn’t available to all users yet. It is unclear as to how Twitter is selecting users to test this feature with, so if you don’t see it then you’re probably not part of the testing group. It is possible that the feature is being rolled out very slowly, so you may or may not see it in the near future, or for all we know Twitter could decide to can the project entirely.
In any case what do you guys think? Is Night Mode a feature that has been sorely missing from Twitter’s desktop experience? Or do you think it’s probably not that big of a deal?
