Facebook introduced a dark mode as part of its desktop redesign last month.
After introducing a dark mode for its desktop interface, Facebook reportedly is checking a dark mode for its mobile apps as well. Its only readily available for “a little percentage of users worldwide right now,” according to SocialMedia Today.
Users who have the brand-new dark mode on mobile tweeted screenshots of what it appears like:
Low-light and dark mode varieties– which enable users to alter the background color of an app window to black– are popular not only because they make apps easier to see for some users and are a bit more visually pleasing, however because most dark mode variations can assist preserve a devices battery life too.
Its a bit surprising its taken this wish for Facebook to present a mobile dark mode; its Instagram, and WhatsApp apps have dark mode currently, as does Facebook Messenger. Twitter has actually had a version of night mode for its Android and iOS apps for a long time, and even Google rolled out a dark mode for its app earlier this year.
Weve connected to Facebook for additional information about when the dark mode may be available in its apps for all users and will update when we hear back.
