Facebook Starts Publicly Testing Dark Mode Support on iOS, Here’s How to Enable It



[ad_1]

Facebook is now beginning a broader implementation of dark mode support on iOS. This comes 5 months after Facebook confirmed its plans to implement dark mode support for iOS, and more than a year after dark mode arrived on iPhone with iOS 13.

In April, 9to5Mac reported that Facebook was in the process of developing and designing support for dark mode on iOS. Then, in June, the company confirmed its plans and presented the new design to a very small percentage of users.

Now, Facebook has confirmed in collaboration with Jane Manchun Wong that it is now publicly testing support for dark mode on iPhone. This does not necessarily mean that the feature is available to everyone, but it does indicate that it will now reach a larger percentage of the user base.

Here’s how to check if dark mode is available through your Facebook account and how to enable it:

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of the Facebook app from the App Store
  2. Open the Facebook app and tap on the tree lines at the bottom right of the navigation bar
  3. Tap on “Settings & Privacy”
  4. Look for a new “Dark Mode” option
  5. Choose from On, Off, or System.

In the “System” option, Facebook will adjust its appearance according to the settings of your iOS device. This is the best option if you want the Facebook app to stick to the Dark Mode schedule you use on your iPhone.

Again, Facebook has yet to roll out dark mode support on iOS for everyone, but is publicly testing the feature with a larger percentage of Facebook’s user base. Hopefully a full deployment will start sooner rather than later.

Do you have dark mode support in the Facebook app on your iPhone? Let us know in the comments!
