Do you want to activate dark mode in Facebook and Messenger? Several studies have shown that a dark screen is easier on the eyes, especially if you’re staring at your phone or computer for long hours. In this article, we’ll teach you how to enable Facebook dark mode on your desktop or mobile phone.

Light-on-dark color schemes, or the so-called “dark mode,” are becoming more popular in many desktop and mobile applications. Many people who look at computer screens for several hours, such as computer programmers, have started to switch to a light text on a dark background to help increase visual acuity and reduce eye fatigue. A dark screen also reduces blue light that can interfere with a good night’s sleep.

An study by Google has also shown that dark screens save battery life by as much as 60%. So if you browse Facebook or chat on Messenger a lot, you might want to enable dark mode not only to help reduce eye strain and fatigue, but also to prolong the life of your phone battery.

Enabling dark mode is really easy and only takes a few seconds of your time but the benefits are manifold. You will notice that the screen is much easier and more comfortable on the eyes after you activate dark mode. If you don’t like a dark screen, you can always switch back to the default light screen with just a few clicks.

How to Enable Facebook Dark Mode on Desktop

It’s fairly easy to activate Facebook dark mode on a PC or laptop. But before you can enable dark mode, make sure that you have already switched to the new design. To switch to the new design, go to Settings and choose the option that says “see new Facebook.” You will not be able to activate dark mode in the old, classic design.

Facebook dark mode on desktop

Here are the steps to enable Facebook dark mode on your desktop computer or laptop:

  1. Open Facebook on a web browser like Chrome.
  2. Click the “Account” button (down arrow) on the upper-right corner.
  3. Turn on the toggle switch next to “Dark Mode.”
  4. If you don’t see the “Dark Mode” switch, select “Display Preferences” and then choose “Dark Mode.”
  5. Congratulations! Facebook dark mode is now activated.

To turn off dark mode, just turn off the toggle switch in “Dark Mode.”

Take note that when you enable Facebook dark mode on desktop, you’ll enable it for your account. This means that dark mode will remain active across multiple desktop devices and browsers.

How to Enable Facebook Dark Mode in Messenger

At the moment, dark mode is not yet available for the Facebook app. But don’t worry, the Messenger app now has an option to enable it.

Previously, you can enable dark mode in Messenger by sending a “moon crescent” emoji to any friend. But now, everyone has the option to activate it in the Messenger app on your Android or iOS mobile phone.

Here’s how to enable dark mode in Facebook Messenger:

  1. Open Messenger on your mobile phone.
  2. Tap your profile photo on the upper-left corner.
  3. Turn on the toggle switch next to “Dark Mode.”
  4. For iOS, select “Dark Mode” and then “On.”
  5. Congratulations! Facebook Messenger is now in dark mode.

To deactivate dark mode, just repeat the steps and toggle off “Dark Mode.”

How to Enable Dark Mode in Facebook Lite

As we’ve already mentioned, dark mode is not yet widely available in the Facebook app. However, the Facebook Lite app already has a dark mode option. Facebook Lite is a lightweight alternative to the regular Facebook app that’s meant for use in old or entry-level smartphones with little storage or memory.

  3. Scroll down and look for “Dark Mode.” Switch it on.
  4. Congratulations! Facebook Lite is now in dark mode.

To turn off Facebook Lite dark mode, just repeat the steps but switch off “Dark Mode.”
