The dark mode in the app will allow users to switch to a black background which is not only better for battery consumption, but also helps in reducing strain on the users eyes. However, the Facebook team is yet to announce about the feature’s roll out officially. But according to a India Today report, a company spokesperson said, “We know people have been asking for dark mode, and they won’t have to wait much longer. People will start to see the option in their Facebook app settings as we roll it out globally.” Also Read – Facebook Launches Free-to-play Cloud Gaming Feature For Android, Web Users | Details Here
