Dark mode devotees, listen up!
Facebook caught up with the times earlier in 2020 when it announced that it would begin bringing a dark mode version of the app to the iPhone. And so the company started very limited tests of the new, more eyeball-friendly design in June.Â
Now, it is testing the feature more widely, which means you could potentially make the switch to dark mode right now, provided you’re among the chosen ones.
Facebook rolled out its redesigned web interface in May, which included dark mode. However, the Facebook app didn’t get the dark mode makeover at the time.
To see if you’re part of the dark mode test (that is if you’re still using Facebook), update to the latest version of Facebook. Then, within the app, navigate to Settings, and then see if a “Dark Mode” option is available. Switch it on if you’ve got it, and voila!
It’s not clear whether the test is available for iOS users, Android users, or both. Mashable has reached out to Facebook to learn more and will update this when and if we hear back.
Facebook announced the broader test in partnership with the app sleuth who commonly discovers new features in the works before they’re public, Jane Manchun Wong. Here’s the cute video they released.
