Facebook Messenger Dark Mode has finally arrived − but it’s currently hidden.
The social media firm announced that Dark Mode was on its way to Messenger all the way back in May 2018 and, almost a year on, it’s finally here. However, you have to enable it.
To access Facebook Messenger Dark Mode on the latest versions of Messenger for iOS and Android, you have to send the crescent moon emoji (🌙) to one of your Facebook friends in a Messenger chat.
As you’d expect, Dark Mode switches Facebook Messenger’s colour theme from white and blue to a far more eye-friendly black and grey − ideal for when you’re messaging people in bed at night. It’s a feature that users have been crying out for for some time.
“One of the most highly anticipated features from the launch of Messenger 4, dark mode is a sleek new look that goes easy on the eyes by switching the background from white to black,”
“Messenger’s dark mode provides lower brightness while maintaining contrast and vibrancy. Dark mode cuts down the glare from your phone for use in low light situations, so you can use the Messenger features you love no matter when or where you are.”
Facebook says this is a “limited-time only experience”, and that Facebook Messenger Dark Mode “will be fully rolled out in settings in the coming weeks”.
It appears that dark mode will arrive as part of a wider Facebook Messenger redesign. The social media firm seems determined to simplify the app, which has become bloated and not especially nice to use over recent years.
