Enabling dark mode in Trust Wallet can significantly enhance your user experience by reducing eye strain and making the interface more comfortable to use in low-light environments. This guide will walk you through the steps to enable dark mode and troubleshoot if the theme switch is invalid.

Checking for Dark Mode Availability

Before attempting to enable dark mode, it's important to ensure that your version of Trust Wallet supports this feature. Trust Wallet frequently updates its app, and dark mode may not be available in older versions.

• Open the Trust Wallet app on your device.
• Tap on the "Settings" icon, usually located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
• Scroll down to the "General" section and look for an option labeled "Appearance" or "Theme".

If you see an option to switch between light and dark modes, your version of Trust Wallet supports dark mode. If you don't see this option, you may need to update the app.

Enabling Dark Mode

Once you've confirmed that your Trust Wallet version supports dark mode, follow these steps to enable it:

• Navigate to the "Settings" menu as described above.
• Find and tap on the "Appearance" or "Theme" option.
• Select "Dark" from the available options. The interface should immediately switch to dark mode.

If the dark mode option is not available, you may need to update your app to the latest version.

Updating Trust Wallet

If your Trust Wallet does not have the dark mode option, you'll need to update the app. Here's how to do it on both iOS and Android devices:

For iOS Users:

• Open the App Store on your device.
• Tap on your profile icon in the top right corner.
• Scroll down to the "Available Updates" section.
• Find Trust Wallet in the list and tap "Update" next to it.

For Android Users:

• Open the Google Play Store on your device.
• Tap on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left corner.
• Select "My apps & games".
• Find Trust Wallet in the list and tap "Update" next to it.

After updating, restart the app and check if the dark mode option is now available.

Troubleshooting Invalid Theme Switch

If you've followed the steps above and the theme switch is still invalid, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps:

Clear App Cache

Clearing the app cache can resolve many issues, including problems with the theme switch.

• For Android users:

  • Go to your device's "Settings".
  • Scroll down and select "Apps" or "Application Manager".
  • Find and tap on "Trust Wallet".
  • Tap on "Storage".
  • Tap "Clear Cache".

• For iOS users, there is no direct way to clear the cache, but you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the app:

  • Press and hold the Trust Wallet icon on your home screen until it starts to jiggle.
  • Tap the "X" in the corner of the icon to delete the app.
  • Go to the App Store and reinstall Trust Wallet.

Check for Conflicting Settings

Sometimes, other settings within the app can interfere with the theme switch. Ensure that no other settings are overriding the dark mode option.

• Go to the "Settings" menu in Trust Wallet.
• Check other sections like "Display" or "Accessibility" to see if any settings might be conflicting with the theme.

Contact Support

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact Trust Wallet's support team for further assistance.

• Visit the Trust Wallet website and navigate to the support section.
• Submit a ticket detailing your issue with the theme switch.

Ensuring Dark Mode Persists

After successfully enabling dark mode, you might want to ensure that it persists across app restarts and updates. Trust Wallet should save your theme preference, but if you notice it reverting to light mode, you may need to repeat the steps above or check for any conflicting settings.

Using Dark Mode on Different Devices

Dark mode can be enabled on both mobile and desktop versions of Trust Wallet, though the steps might slightly differ. For desktop users, the process is similar but accessed through the desktop app's settings menu.

• Open the Trust Wallet desktop app.
• Click on the "Settings" icon, usually found in the top right corner.
• Navigate to the "Appearance" or "Theme" section.
• Select "Dark" from the available options.
