How To Enable Duolingo Dark Mode For Desktop, Mobiles

The dark mode feature is easy on the eyes, unlike the bright and vibrant theme that most apps initially offer. If you don’t like the light design in Duolingo, you can disable it in “Settings.” But how? This guide will teach you how to enable the dark mode option in Duolingo for desktops, Android, and iPhones.

How to Enable Dark Mode in Duolingo on a Desktop

To activate the dark mode feature in Duolingo via desktop, you must install a simple program in your browser.

This is because, when writing this guide, Duolingo does not yet offer an option to enable dark mode on desktop and PC.

Maybe they will shortly, but we must find a way to help ourselves.

Next, this tutorial will use Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers.

I will list all the tutorials for each browser below because the method to enable the dark mode feature is slightly different.

How to Enable Duolingo Dark Mode on Microsoft Edge Based On Chromium Browser

You’d be surprised how many people still use the Microsoft Edge browser. I can say it’s a good browser, but I don’t use it.

Microsoft Edge browser based on Chromium is the latest version released in 2020; it is faster than previous versions and better.

1. Google Chrome browser on your desktop or PC.
2. In the search bar, type: “edge://flags,” and a list of options will appear.
3. ignore this list of options and type this term into the search box: “Dark Mode” and hit enter.
4. From the term displayed after the search, you will see a drop-down list on the right; Click on it next to it, then select “Enable.”
5. After selecting “Enable,” restart your Microsoft Edge-based Chromium browser, and automatically all websites you visit from now on will be in dark mode, including Duolingo.
