- Facebook is finally bringing dark mode to mobile.
- It's testing this on a small group of users globally.

"Enjoy lower brightness, alongside contrast and vibrancy, with dark mode," Facebook said when it debuted on the web, "It minimizes screen glare for use in low light, wherever you are."

The main Facebook app isn't the only one to get a dark mode. Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp also received dark mode updates recently.
And it's just not Facebook, dark mode has gotten popular over the past year, especially on mobile. Both iOS and Android received system-wide dark mode support and Google has been updating its apps to support the much-loved feature.
If the test is successful and all the kinks are smoothed out, we can expect Facebook to release the update over the next few weeks to months.
