Facebook starts rolling out Dark Mode on its Mobile App

After launching dark mode options on every other one of its apps, Facebook has now confirmed launching a full public test of dark mode within its main mobile app. Both the Facebook app and the Facebook website have underwent a massive redesign. The blue main color scheme that formerly was a staple of Facebook has now redesigned into a slightly brighter tone of blue as highlights while the app’s main color is all white.

Facebook  has already added dark mode options in most - if not all - of its other apps, including Messenger, Facebook Lite, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Facebook also added dark mode as part of its desktop app refresh back in March. 

The announcement was first made by Jane Manchun Wong, who normally tweets about unreleased features in many apps (including Facebook), but the tweet was actually made in collaboration with official company spokespersons this time around.

For those waiting on dark mode, the wait should soon be over, with Facebook beginning the new testing wave from today, providing you with a whole new color palette for your app.
