More ways to trade: now use dark mode and privacy mode

This week, we’re rolling out dark mode in the Coinbase app to customers around the world to make it easier and more delightful to trade and HODL at any time. Plus, we’re giving you more privacy options with the ability to hide your account balances from view.

More delightful trading at any time

The crypto market is open 24/7 and millions of customers trade around the clock. Staring at a bright digital screen can be overwhelming during low-light hours or at any point in the day. Dark mode makes it easier for you to use the Coinbase app at any time, in your preferred lighting. Crypto markets don’t rest but now your eyes can.

Flexible display settings

You can easily manage dark mode in the Coinbase app:

  • Open the app and tap Settings
  • Scroll down to the Display section
  • Select a setting under Appearance

Dark mode automatically matches your phone’s system settings, so if you already use it on your phone then there’s no need to turn it on.

More privacy options

As crypto becomes a bigger part of your life, you open the Coinbase app in an increasing number of situations. We understand that you don’t always want your balance information prominently displayed, so we’re now allowing you to hide your balance information.

Simple set up

To hide your balance:

  • Open the Coinbase app and tap Settings
  • Toggle on Privacy Mode
  • Tap and hold your Portfolio balance at any time to hide your balance

As you interact with the cryptoeconomy in more ways at more times, we want to make your experience easier and more delightful. We’ll continue to listen to you and adjust the Coinbase app to better suit your lifestyle.
