A dark theme limited to smartphones running Android 10 or One UI
To enjoy the dark Instagram theme on Android, you will first need to register for the beta of the app on the Play Store, then wait for the app version 114.0.0.0.24. Therefore, if your smartphone has an overall dark theme, the application will automatically switch from dark theme to bright theme. According to the observations of our American colleagues, this dark theme is nevertheless reserved for smartphones equipped with Android 10, or Samsung devices equipped with the One UI interface. We were unable to activate it on a Huawei P30 running EMUI 9.1 despite enabling the dark theme in the battery settings. More strangely, this was also not possible on Samsung Galaxy Note 10+.

For now, the dark theme is only available on Instagram for Android in beta. It is not yet clear when it will be rolled out to all users.
