The new feature has only just begun rolling out, so some Android users won’t see this option just yet. If you can’t see the Dark Mode setting (it should be below Advanced) ensure you are running the latest version of Slack:
Launch Google PlayClick the three lines at the top left to open the Options menuClick My apps & gamesSelect the Updates tab and scroll down the list to see if a Slack update is available
If no update is available and you want Dark Mode now, you can opt to install the beta version of Slack:
Head to slack.com/beta/androidClick ‘Sign up on Google Play’Click ‘Become a Tester’Launch Google PlayClick the three lines at the top left to open the Options menuClick My apps & gamesSelect the Updates tab and hit refresh next to ‘No updates available’
The update may take a while to appear, but when it does you should install this to gain access to the Dark Mode setting. To revert to the standard version of Slack just uninstall the app and reinstall the public version via Google Play.
