Dark Mode testing begins on Facebook mobile app for Android and iOS

IT specialist and application researcher Jane Manchun Wong was one of the first to report this. On her Twitter page, she wrote about the beginning of public testing of dark mode in the Facebook mobile app for Android and iOS devices. She supplemented her message with a small demo video about the new function.

It is currently unknown on what basis people are selected to test dark mode, but the source notes that their number has increased significantly. To activate the new function, you need to go to the “Settings and privacy” section, which is located in the main menu of the application. Users can force dark mode on or off, or choose a mode that will respect system-wide settings. The latter option assumes that the Facebook app settings will change depending on which mode is selected at the operating system level.
