How to enable Dark Mode in the Facebook app?

Facebook is a go-to application for social media fans, and due to its bright white background, it (at times) becomes very disturbing. Dark mode, on the other hand, has become a sought-after feature on the platform, all because of its ability to reduce eye strain and save battery life. However many users are unaware of the mode or how to activate it in the Facebook app. Here we are to tell you that this feature is straightforward to activate and gives you a more comforting viewing experience.

Benefits of Dark Mode

Reduced Eye Strain: Dark mode minimizes blue light emission, which can alleviate eye strain, particularly during nighttime use.
Improved Battery Life: For devices with OLED or AMOLED screens, dark mode helps conserve battery life by using less power to display black pixels.
Enhanced Viewing Experience: Many users find dark mode visually appealing and immersive, especially in low-light settings.
