Facebook Officially Launches Dark Mode for Messenger

Facebook has officially announced the availability of a Dark Mode for its Messenger app.

We’re over the moon to share that dark mode for Messenger is finally making its debut. 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.




Dark mode can be accessed through a hidden, "limited-time only" experience. Simply send a crescent moon emoji in any Messenger chat to unlock the setting and prompt to turn on dark mode.

Facebook says Messenger's dark mode provides lower brightness while maintaining contrast and vibrancy. It's currently accessible to all Messenger users around the world on the latest versions of iOS and Android by sending the crescent moon emoji, and will be fully rolled out in settings in the coming weeks.

You can download Messenger from the App Store for free.
