After announcing Facebook Messenger’s new Remove for Everyone button, which enables users to delete messages, back in February, Mark Zuckerberg’s team is now slowly rolling out an even more exciting new feature: the Dark Mode.
As one of the most highly anticipated features from the launch of Messenger 4, dark mode is a sleek new look designed to make it easier to use Facebook Messenger app at night or in low light conditions.
Here’s how the new dark mode looks.
What’s Special About This New Dark Mode?
Facebook Messenger’s new dark mode provides lower brightness while still maintaining contrast and vibrancy. It cuts down the glare from your phone so you can use the Messenger app no matter when or where you are.
Even though Dark Mode is not fully introduced in settings, it is currently accessible to all Messenger users around the world on the latest versions of iOS and Android. All you need to do is to send a tiny little emoji.
How to Enable Dark Mode on Facebook Messenger
As many users may have discovered, the
Over the coming weeks, the option to enable dark mode will officially appear in the settings making sure you’ll be able to flick between the light and dark mode. However, that dark mode is hidden from view unless and until you send the crescent moon emoji to reveal the feature.
The Strike of Facebook Messenger
Although not everybody is particularly fond of this new feature, Facebook has made a wise move by giving people the option to switch from a light background to a dark background. It makes absolute sense for people who can’t help using their phone in bed like myself.
With the debut of Remove for Everyone and Dark Mode, no one can argue with the fact that 2019 is the year Facebook Messenger strikes high above all other social media applications.
