1. Open Slack.

2. If you're on the desktop app, click your profile picture in the top right corner of the window. If you're on the Android app, tap the "You" profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will open a menu.

3. Click or tap "Preferences."

4. If you're on desktop, click on "Themes." From here you can choose Slack's dark theme, as well as switch to a light theme, sync the theme with your operating system, or even play around with different colours. If you're on Android, tap on "Dark mode," then turn it on.

Slack on iOS 13 and above should automatically adjust to match your device's theme, so you don't have to worry about setting it manually. If you're running iOS 12 or below, you can turn on Slack's Dark mode by following the same steps as you would on Android. You'll probably want to upgrade sooner rather than later though, for both aesthetic and security reasons.
