The long-awaited Instagram dark mode has yet to come true in the official app. In recent months there have been few rumors that predicted the arrival of this mode to the application, and the truth is that today we still do not have a night mode or night mode on Instagram. Luckily, there are modified applications of the original app that, in addition to allowing us to activate the aforementioned dark mode, have themes that we can customize to our liking. This is the case of GB Instagram, a modified Instagram APK that allows us to configure the application interface to our liking.
Before proceeding with the explanations we must bear in mind that the latest version of GB Instagram is based on a version of Instagram launched in 2018, so it is likely that we will lose some functions that the latest version of Instagram does include, such as 16: 9 stories, interactive quizzes or polls.
How to download GB Instagram APK 2019 and install the application on Android
As an unofficial Instagram application, GB Instagram is not available in the Google Play Store. To download the APK of GB Instagram we will have to go to the original page of the author, which we can find in this link.
Once we have downloaded the APK, the next thing we will have to do is uninstall Instagram and activate the Installing applications from unknown sources box that we can find in the Security section within the Android Settings. Both actions are essential, since if not carried out, the Instagram GB application will not be installed on the mobile.
Later, we will install the APK from the Downloads application and enter our user account to access the application. Since the app uses the traditional Facebook and Instagram login, we will not have to worry about the integrity of our data and the security of our account.
How to activate dark mode on GB Instagram
With the GB Instagram APK application open, we will go to our user profile and click on the button with the gear icon that we can find on the top bar of the app next to the traditional icon of archived photographs and the menu.
At this point, we can choose two options, either configure the interface and the colors of the application manually or use a third-party theme that we can download from the GB store itself.
In the event that we opt for the first method, we will have to configure the colors one by one of each of the parts of the application, ensuring that they do not intercede in the colors of the letters, which we can also configure in the respective sections of the configurator. To do this, we will have to access the different options of the app within the Appearance section. Conversation Screen, Main / Chats Screen, Comments Screen, Home Screen etc.
If we prefer to use third-party themes, the process is as simple as accessing the store in Download themes and choosing the theme that best suits our preferences. The one we have used for this article is JayP_DarkBlue_Insta13, although we can also choose others such as riada_black, JayP_Yellow_Insta6 or JayP_Teal_Insta4 that include black and dark colors.
Finally we will click on the topic in question and it will automatically be applied to the GB Instagram interface, but not before restarting the app.
