Facebook appears to be working in a dark mode for its flagship iOS app. WABetaInfo managed to enable the hidden configuration, which is still in development and not yet available to public or beta users.
9to5Mac It did the same, and its screenshots suggest that Facebook is targeting a theme closer to grayscale than the actual blacks used in Apple’s dark mode for iOS 13. Facebook offers a similar theme in its Android app.
It’s unclear why Facebook prefers a grayscale theme, as this negates the power-saving benefits of its dark mode for iPhone OLEDs (pixels on an OLED panel are individually powered and true black pixels remain idle). .
Still, the new alternative look should be easier on the eyes when viewed in dark surroundings. WABetaInfo says that the feature can be manually enabled and disabled or configured to adjust based on the device’s system settings.
Some elements of the user interface still need to work to make the interface look consistent in dark mode, and it is unknown when Facebook intends to launch the feature, which could change in the meantime. Facebook Messenger got its own dark mode in April 2019. Last month, Facebook started implementing an optional dark mode for users who access the social network from a web browser.
