The dark mode option not showing on X (Twitter) is an issue that many users are facing.
This is because X has removed the in-app toggle for dark mode from the mobile app settings.
This change was confirmed by Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, who explained the reason for it.
He mentioned that maintaining a separate in-app dark mode toggle caused bugs on the app.
In this quick guide, you’ll learn how to fix the dark mode option not showing on X (Twitter) on Android or iOS devices.
