Upon opening the app, you should see the notification right at the bottom of the chats list. The dark mode toggle can be found in the “More” tab > Settings > Appearance. If you don’t see the setting, make sure you are updated to the latest version of the app.

For those on iOS wondering about dark mode, Viber’s support Twitter handle @ViberHelp confirmed that it is coming in two weeks.

It's coming in about two weeks. Stay tuned!
