Wattpad is a great initiative to form a social community among the new and established writers. The users can utilize the platform for reading books, novels, trilogies, and much more. Generally, the white background screen would not let the readers go on for a long time. Some readers personally prefer dark mode as it would help them read continuously for a longer duration. Fortunately, Wattpad officially supports dark mode on the mobile version. While using the web version, you have to install an extension to change the appearance.
