Snapchat features a “Night Mode” that will allow users to take higher-quality Snaps in dark areas.

Our guide will show you how to use Night Mode in the Snapchat mobile application.

Note: These screenshots were captured in the Snapchat app on iOS.

Step 1: On the Snapchat camera screen, tap the plus sign icon on the right side of the screen.
