Facebook has made tons of changes to their Messenger app recently. The company has been overhauling the Messenger app in an effort to ease user’s experience by eliminating unnecessary elements and putting emphasis on more important features.
Interestingly, Facebook has also promised that it would eventually roll out a dark mode for its users, and that mode has finally arrived as a fun Easter egg.
The feature was first announced back in October 2018, but it was only made available to a couple of users in certain country as part of its early testing phase. And now, it is available to everyone who has the latest version of the Messenger app installed on their devices.
To activate dark mode in Messenger, all you have to do is go to a chat thread, and send the person (or even yourself) the crescent moon emoji. If you are confused, the emoji looks something like this:
And once that’s done, it will start raining moon on your screen, indicating that the feature has been unlocked.
All that’s left to do is to go to your profile page in the app, and you will be greeted with an option to turn the Dark Mode on. Simple as that!
But if this mode is not available on your Messenger app yet, don’t worry. Because according to Android Police, the mode has not rolled out to everyone just yet. Some of the users also received a message indicating that it is still a work in progress.
