How to enable Facebook Dark Mode on Android

Facebook had introduced a dark mode feature for its Android app. Enabling dark mode on the Facebook app can reduce eye strain and save battery life, especially on devices with OLED or AMOLED screens. Here’s how to enable dark mode on the Facebook app for Android:

Method 1: Using Facebook App Settings (If Available)

1. Open the Facebook app on your Android device.
2. Tap the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will open the Facebook menu.
3. Scroll down and find “Settings & Privacy.” Tap to expand this section.
4. Tap “Settings.”
5. Scroll down to the “Dark Mode” option under the “Preferences” section. If you don’t see this option, it’s possible that your Facebook app hasn’t received the dark mode update yet.
6. In the “Dark Mode” settings, you can choose from the following options:

• “On”: This option enables dark mode.
• “Off”: This option disables dark mode.
• “System”: If you select this option, Facebook will follow the system-wide dark mode settings on your Android device. When you enable dark mode in your device’s settings, Facebook will switch to dark mode automatically.

1. Choose “On” to enable dark mode, “Off” to disable it, or “System” to let Facebook follow your device’s dark mode settings.
2. The Facebook app will switch to dark mode immediately after making your selection.

Method 2: Using Android System Settings

If you don’t see the Dark Mode option in your Facebook app settings, you can enable dark mode on the Facebook app by changing your device’s system-wide dark mode settings. Here’s how:

1. Open the “Settings” app on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and select “Display.”
3. Look for the “Dark theme” or “Dark mode” option and tap on it. The exact wording may vary depending on your device and Android version.
4. Turn on the dark theme or dark mode. This will enable dark mode for the entire system, including the Facebook app.
5. Open the Facebook app, and it should automatically switch to dark mode to match your system settings.

The app features and settings can change over time, and Facebook may have made updates to its app since my last knowledge update. If you’re unable to find the dark mode settings in the Facebook app, it’s possible that your app version or device may not support this feature. To ensure you have the latest features, consider updating the Facebook app from the Google Play Store.
