Slack’s finally rolling out its dark mode on its iOS and Android apps. We’ll show you how to turn on the dark mode, but first make sure that you’ve got the latest version of the app.
A small bit of news for your Monday morning, afternoon, or evening: today we released an update for our Android and iOS apps, which you can find in the Google Play Store and the App Store, respectively. The update is dark mode. https://t.co/yCNw8yfWcq
