How To Turn Pinterest To Dark Mode On Any Device?
iPhone
If you want Pinterest on your iPhone to match the appearance mode you've chosen for iOS, you can easily set it up with the following steps:
Android
The Pinterest app on Android devices automatically adjusts its appearance based on the phone's display settings. This means that if the phone's UI is set to dark mode, the Pinterest app will also be in dark mode. Here are the general steps for enabling dark mode on the Pinterest app:
Alternatively, you can set a schedule for dark mode to turn on and off by tapping on Schedule and setting the desired start and end times. Keep in mind that the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the version of Android and your specific phone model.
Does Pinterest Have Dark Mode?
About a year ago, Pinterest received negative feedback from users about the poor UI of their mobile website. In response, Pinterest made significant changes to improve the overall user experience of their mobile website. As a part of these changes, they introduced a "night mode" feature. Despite the crisp appearance of the new mobile web experience, it's disappointing that Pinterest has not implemented the "night mode" feature on their desktop or mobile apps (iOS and Android).
How To Make Pinterest Dark Mode On Laptop?
The Pinterest website does not have a built-in dark mode feature, so if you want to use the website in a darker theme, you will need to rely on a browser extension. Fortunately, there are several extensions available for every major browser that allow you to toggle dark mode on and off, and even sync the website's dark mode settings with your computer's operating system.
For Google Chrome users, the Night Eye extension is the best option. It lets you enable dark mode for individual websites, including Pinterest, and can work independently or in conjunction with your computer's dark mode settings.
For Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari users, Dark Reader is a great extension to try. It offers a variety of settings and options for each browser and allows you to customise the dark mode for each website you visit. Like Night Eye, it can also work on its own or with your computer's dark mode settings.
How To Make Pinterest Dark Mode On PC?
Although Pinterest does not offer an official dark theme option for its web version, you can still enable it using plugins on your Windows PC or Mac by using the Google Chrome browser. Here's how:

How To Turn Pinterest To Dark Mode On Any Device - FAQs
Pinterest is a social media platform and image-sharing service that allows users to discover and save information, ideas, and inspiration from the internet using images, videos, and animated GIFs on virtual pinboards.
Pinterest was founded by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp, and is headquartered in San Francisco.
As of December 2022, Pinterest has 450 million monthly active users worldwide.
Impressions on Pinterest are a metric that measures the number of times a user's Pins are displayed on the screen. Impressions are counted when a user is scrolling through the Pinterest feed, even if they don't interact with the Pin. Therefore, if a Pin appears on the screen 1,000 times, it will have 1,000 impressions. It's important to understand that just because there are 1,000 impressions, it doesn't mean that 1,000 unique users have seen the Pin. For example, if one user scrolled over the Pin multiple times or engaged with it multiple times, it would count as multiple impressions.
