After a long wait, Facebook's Dark Mode is ready for launch, and few users have even been able to try it before its begins rolling out globally.Facebook Dark Mode is a new look for the Social network that replace its usual bright white interface with black and shades of grey for both desktop and Mobile .Its small change,but an favourite one for many users
Its a alternative to the color scheme, but that's not the only reason many users are looking forward to making the switch .Some people fine white text on the dark background much easier to read,and although the jury is out on whether cutting down on blue light actually helps you sleep better at night,a dark interface certainly reduces glare when you are using app after dark .
There is a benefit for your phone battery ,too. Researches have found that pixel color has direct effect on power draw,with black pixels using significantly less energy than white ones.This is particularly true for devices with AMOLED screens,where pure black pixels color are actually switched off.Swapping Facebook's bright ,white interface to something darker could therefore help your mobile device to last noticeably longer between chargers.
Desktop users:
Facebook has been working on a new design for its desktop site for several months now, with an optional dark mode, and although the launch isn't yet complete, it's rolling out right now to users worldwide.When you get the update, you should see a prompt at the top of the screen asking if you want to try the new-look Facebook. Once you accept, you'll be able to switch to dark mode from the settings menu.If you're still waiting to receive the new design, you can use Google Chrome to 'force' dark mode on Facebook. This doesn't look exactly the same as the official dark mode will, but it's not too far off.
Mobile Users:
Facebook is also testing a new design for Android, which also offers a dark mode option. Again, this feature is currently available to a group of testers chosen seemingly at random.Facebook's mobile dark mode still seems to be very much a work in progress, and some users who've managed to catch a sneak peek at it have reported that it seems to be unfinished, switching between dark and light modes seemingly at random.There's no sign yet of dark mode for iOS, but we'd be surprised if it's far behind, as the two mobile apps share a lot of the same assets.
