  4. Instead of opening Instagram from your phone, open it from the Google Play store to ensure that you have the latest version of Instagram installed.
  5. If you aren’t seeing Dark Mode when you open Instagram, make sure that you have selected Dark Mode in the settings (above) and that you have the latest version of Instagram installed on your phone.  If it is still not showing in Dark Mode, then go back to the Google Play store, select Instagram, and then select Join the beta. This will allow you to try out new features before they are released and should ensure that you are able to access Dark Mode within the Instagram app.
