Before you enable it, you should check the version of your browser. Facebook&#8217;s dark mode first went live in October 2020. To make sure your browser supports it, follow the steps below. After enabling dark mode, the Facebook homepage will appear in black and gray. You can also switch to this mode by using Google Chrome. To turn dark mode on Facebook, open its settings page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of\"><\/span>Benefits of<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been considering switching to a dark background on your device, you&#8217;re not alone. This trend is quickly catching on with other companies as well. This new feature will make it easier to use your favorite apps at night while reducing eye strain. Not to mention the energy savings it can provide, since dark mode will reduce the amount of power your device needs to run. It will make reading your messages, comments, and posts a lot easier, and it will also help prevent Facebook stalking.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switching_to\"><\/span>Switching to<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on a mobile device, you might not even know that you can switch to dark mode on Facebook. But you can! There&#8217;s a new feature that allows you to adjust the look and feel of your Facebook account to suit the time of day. If you&#8217;re using an older browser, you&#8217;ll have to switch to New Facebook before you can enable the dark mode option on your desktop. This simple trick will let you instantly see the changes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using\"><\/span>Using<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Facebook&#8217;s dark mode is available for Android and iOS users. It allows users to switch their entire experience to a dark theme, without changing their Facebook homepage or other settings. Once you&#8217;ve enabled dark mode, all you need to do is click on your profile picture to access the dark mode switch. This feature also works on the Facebook Messenger app. However, you need to be using an iOS or Android device to activate it. Regardless of the platform you&#8217;re using, it&#8217;s important to note that this feature is not available for Facebook&#8217;s desktop website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Google_Chrome\"><\/span>Using Google Chrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to use Facebook in a dark mode, but don&#8217;t want to change your browser settings, you can force Facebook to use dark mode on your computer. Unlike Facebook&#8217;s official dark mode, Google Chrome&#8217;s version doesn&#8217;t look as good, but it&#8217;s still a great option for Facebook users who don&#8217;t want to switch browsers. Before you start, make sure you&#8217;re using the latest version of Chrome. Chrome will automatically install updates for its browser.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iOS\"><\/span>iOS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using the Facebook app on your mobile device? If so, you&#8217;ll want to turn on the dark mode option. You can do this by going to the Settings &amp; Privacy section. Once there, click the About link. The version number will be displayed. Make sure you&#8217;re on the 300 version. It only takes a few clicks to make the changes. After you&#8217;ve turned on the dark mode, your Facebook app will change from light to dark and back again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Android\"><\/span>Android<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you use Android, you may have noticed that Facebook has changed its interface recently. Now you can toggle the light and dark modes in Facebook to suit your preference. You can also opt for automatic dark mode which adjusts your display depending on your location. Regardless of the setting you choose, changing from light to dark mode will affect the entire Facebook environment including your profile, groups, and messenger. If you want to make the most of dark mode, here are some easy steps to follow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Windows_11\"><\/span>Windows 11<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to view Facebook in dark mode on your Windows 11 PC, you must first enable the Facebook app&#8217;s dark mode.
