While dark mode hasn’t yet made it to the redesigned Facebook Messenger app, the feature toggle can be enabled in the app’s settings by simply sending a crescent moon emoji in any conversation.
Facebook’s Messenger overhaul began rolling out globally early this year, bringing with it a much-needed refresh to the app’s design that cut the clutter and made it simpler to use. As part of the UI refresh, the company added a ton of white space around the elements in the app to provide a sense of separation and simplicity. The firm, however, did confirm that the long-awaited Dark Mode would soon make its way to the app.
While the said Dark Mode could unofficially be enabled in the Beta version of the app, it looks like a recent update to the stable version lets users enable Dark Mode through a rather unusual way.
