Clubhouse starts dark mode support rollout on mobile

If you have been waiting for Clubhouse to offer dark mode on its Android or iOS app, your wait is almost over. The social audio app is rolling out the feature to both platforms. Clubhouse is opting out of a complete black interface. Instead, its dark mode is a "velvety dark background" with light text that's not exactly white. The platform opted for this combination to make it more comfortable for use at night. As with other apps offering the feature, you can choose to enable dark mode based on your device's settings or keep it in that setting. 

To get access to it, you'll need to update to the latest version of Clubhouse. But it might take a "couple of days" for the feature to roll out to all users.

Pinterest's new WooCommerce extension turns sellers' products into shoppable Pins

Source: Pinterest

Pinterest and WooCommerce are making it easier for merchants to use the platform to sell their products. They launched a new Pinterest extension that can turn your product catalogue into shoppable Product Pins. When you install the extension, it automatically turns your products into Pins that people can search and browse for buying on the platform. It even gives you data on which products customers interact with on the app, so you'll know the best-selling or most saved items. You can get more info on how to install it here.

The companies recommend sellers to use the extension instead of manually uploading photos since it automatically updates details like pricing and product availability. If you want to try it out, you're lucky that Canada is one of the countries to get the feature now.
