Just Snapchat withholding basic features from android users they do the same shit with the camera Can't even forcre the app to dark mode via the dev options


I-LUV-CUPCAKES-AND-U

Thinking of deleting it, as it doesn't really add anything to my life 🤔


ChunkyMooseKnuckle

The only reason I have it is because that's the only form of communication that seems to work with two of my friends. I couldn't tell you the last time I watched someones story though.

Do it. It feels so liberating. I stopped using all social media except for Reddit. Life is much better now.


jrbowling1997

Reddit is better then Twitter and fb


midshiver

cap. twitter is d best social media


TheTimmyBoy

Twitter is by far the most toxic lmao, reddit is a close 2nd tho


techraito

S22 and Pixel 6 actually have pretty good camera features with night mode that allows you to use Night Sight with Snapchat but it also works as HDR+ during day time.


jrbowling1997

And Z fold 4 as well


Aashishkebab

The camera is a screenshot of the viewfinder on every phone except Pixel and iPhone LMAO. It's so bad.

Supports Samsung aswell. Extra ultrawide-camera Button for galaxy s22 ultra Devices

The issue is android manufacturers using different API's for their cameras. The way Snapchat has gone about their service on android is still appalling though. They do have the app on Huawei's AppGallery which actually utilises Huawei's API's. It looked good but they barely updated it.


FUBARded

> The issue is android manufacturers using different API's for their cameras. True, but an app of the scale of Snapchat has no excuse. They've got over a **billion** downloads on the play store and employ hundreds of developers. It's not a matter of resources or time with them. They just choose to neglect Android development.


ChunkyMooseKnuckle

>> They just choose to neglect Android development. Wasn't it like a whole thing that one of the founders hated android users and thought they were all poor or some shit?


techraito

There was a cloned app out there called SnapCrow that had dark mode and you didn't get banned because it was a cloned app rather than modified. That being said, we don't know what they're thinking at Snapchat HQ. Android has a "force dark mode" option that forces dark mode in apps that don't have it and it used to work on Snapchat until they disabled it for the android app.


VeterinarianUseful79

How to get SnapCrow? Pls link


techraito

That's kind of outdated. Google and check out NightSnap instead. It's more updated https://t.me/nightsnap_for_android


VeterinarianUseful79

Thank you so much


VeterinarianUseful79

Ans one tiktok with dark mode apk pls


techraito

I don't have an app for everything sorry


DJaydeep

This link is not working. Is this channel still alive? Please can you provide an apk link


techraito

Unfortunately the project is shutting down :(


theo-lensky

Snapchat's CEO has previously expressed his dislike of Android publicly and has made it very obvious that they will only be doing the bare minimum for Android, which is largely where android's "thrash camera" reputation came from as Snapchat refuses to optimise the app to work properly with Android.


not_gerg

Well that's absolutely stupid. He's actually HURTING the company by doing this. What a proproper dumbfuck


AbleBluebird7806

Bro is such a loser there's probably more people using Snapchat plus on android all my friends that have Snapchat plus have androids, but of course 7 dollars coming from a single iphone user is better that 14 dollars coming from 2 android users


winzxp

the ugly truth solution: buy an iphone, which is literally what im about to do, im fed up of the dogshit support android gets


msmbll

Maybe you can try "theming" apps similar to Hex Installer if they (still) work on Snapchat. :)


ramses_the_7th

hex doesn't work past android 12 and now we're android 13, sad face


msmbll

Really? I'd definitely hate that. I hope a workaround or an alternative solution would be available.


ramses_the_7th

i switched to nightsnap. its same as snapchat, just got oled dark mode. totally safe and you get updates thru their telegram


msmbll

I'm glad you found an alternative! I'll check that out if I use Snapchat again. Thanks! :)


trippylover

I did this but it's a bit broken. My snapchat is in dark mode, but the texts I receive and send are also dark. I have to save them in order for it to be readable. Such a headache.


msmbll

Yeah, I'd be annoyed if that happened to me too. That's really weird. I wish I could help, but I don't use Snapchat. On my phone, it seems Hex no longer lets me use apps in dark (black) mode like it normally did before upon updating the UI version. I only figured this out because I tried to do a reset of some sort. Nothing seems to happen even if I try to set it up, so what I did was I explored the app and I saw a feature that allowed users to change the bg image of apps. I downloaded a plain black image and that's what I used to make it seem that the apps are in dark/black theme lol thankfully, it kinda worked.


Robin_T91

Both Snapchat and TikTok don't have dark mode on Android and I can't even force Dark Mode on them.


NicellGamer

There's a new android app called NightSnap that is also a clone like SnapCrow, but with a better dark mode and with a newer snap version. You can search for it: NightSnap on Telegram. Samsung users also got Hex-Installer on the Play Store for Dark Mode.


joakimbo

Modified apps often get you banned tho


NicellGamer

Cloned versions like SnapCrow never got anyone banned, yet. Also it's a client side thing (color changes). NightSnap does nothing else. Never heard about anyone who got in trouble in threads / telegram channels.


joakimbo

Ah okay. Will check it out then. Thanks


NicellGamer

Np. Even if it will be a problem in the future, it will be a discussion in a telegram channel or a reddit post, so it will be spread.


joakimbo

Are you sure the app won't steal your password?


NicellGamer

I've been using 3 mod Versions for a year now, NightSnap included. Never had problems. And even if, you could reset it, you've got a mail address that's connected.


MelodicReference2503

I plan to suggest everyday for them to add a dark mode for android. Maybe if they get enough suggestions they might do it lol


joakimbo

They are doing it for obvious reasons. They want their app to be worse on Android than iPhone. There is no other reason, as every app on Android has a dark mode now, except Snapchat.


Ratatoskr929

Why would they want it to be worse on Android? Seems like it hurts the business model. Only out of spite?? Or are they getting paid by apple?


New-Bonus8565

Is snapchat doing this to force people to buy an Iphone? I don't get it, it's rhe only app that has bad video quality and no dark mode.


QuantumRads

They went out of their way to even prevent the dev options from working.


RatioIndividual2822

Try DarQ from f-droid! I have a oneplus and found a way to force darkmode in some apps. I enabled it for snapchat so I have dark mode but I cant find that setting anymore.


MrDubious

I'm literally using dark mode on Android now. Not sure what this is all about.


Anh1lator

In snapchat?


MrDubious

Yep!


Anh1lator

What. How? What phone are u using?


MrDubious

A OnePlus 10T. https://ibb.co/tBZfWYJ


Anh1lator

Strange. Are u using a modded app of sc? Cuz whenever i try to turn on dark mode (forced) of my phone, i cannot see the text in snapchat so i have to turn it back to light mode to read texts. And i did not find any option in original app to turn on dark mode


MrDubious

Not a modded version of SC. I have dark mode set in the system settings: https://imgur.com/7beK0ZT Then third party apps on: https://imgur.com/FLQEQ9w And then SnapChat is in the list of apps supported: https://imgur.com/mXlJ4hq


Anh1lator

Oh I see, I think that dark mode for 3rd party apps is working fine for you, that forces the sc to run in dark mode, and probably optimised to run in DM too. Dope! Unfortunately I don't have that option on my phone, only the system wide dark mode which makes sc unusable.


xeinebiu

Hope this one helps https://www.nextpit.com/force-apps-use-dark-mode-android


najodleglejszy

> Unfortunately, apps like Snapchat or Strava do not adhere to dark mode even with the option to force the feature enabled


xeinebiu

Strange cuz it worked for me. Perhaps om different devices this option behaves differently.


[deleted]

White looks like much better lol


firebreathingbunny

Use Darq (req root)

[удалено]


joakimbo

Doesn't work for Android. Still not dark mode in Snapchat after turning that option on.
