It may not work, but don't despair. There is still a solution that asks you to uninstall Snapchat first to reinstall an older version. Warning, we do not recommend this method, as it robs you of the most recent and, theoretically, the most secure and complete grind in terms of functionality. If, however, you wish to take the risk, you will have to go to the site from your Internet browser. Snapchat uptodown.
This site lists old versions of Snapchat and allows you to download them. Locate the version 10.61.2.0 Beta of July 9, 2019. Download it before installing and launching it. Normally, your Snapchat will then go into dark mode. Again, this is not a recommended method.
There are also alternative solutions that use third-party apps, but your smartphone must be rooted for this to work. We will not detail these processes here.
