Facebook-owned WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging apps in the world right now. However, those who are a stickler for security and privacy prefer Telegram over it. Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram doesn’t have the backing of a tech giant like Facebook, but it still is light years ahead of WhatsApp in terms of cool, useful features. One of those features is night mode which not only helps reduce strain to your eyes when using the app at night, but also helps conserve your phone’s battery to some extent. While you can always turn on the night mode when you want, you can also turn it on automatically. If you don’t know how to turn on night mode automatically on Telegram, we show you to do that with this guide. Read on.
