Dark mode makes Facebook easier to look at, especially at night. It uses darker colors that reduce eye strain and can save battery on some devices. Many people use it because it feels more comfortable and looks cleaner. Here is a straightforward guide to turn on Facebook’s dark mode on a computer, Android phone, or iPhone.
What Facebook’s Dark Mode Does?
Dark mode changes the bright white background to a dark one. It does not change how Facebook works. It only changes how the page looks, so it feels easier to use at night or in dim rooms.
