Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Monday that the app’s newest appearance could be used for iOS 13 and Android 10.

“Starting today, you can use Instagram in dark mode on iOS 13 or Android 10. Turn dark mode on your phone to try it out,” Mosseri said.

According to a report, the dark mode feature can also used in several platforms and devices including Twitter and Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Google's Chrome browser, Windows 10, Apple's iOS, and MacOS software.

Google also released a system-wide dark mode option for Android 10. It features changes in the phone’s menus and home screen, however, only some apps supported it.
