Facebook Has Begun The Roll Out Of Dark Mode Feature (to "some users" for now)

Social media giant Facebook has confirmed that it has begun the roll out of the long awaited dark mode feature to users on the mobile app.

First reported by SocialMediaToday who reached out to Facebook for confirmation of the feature which was shared by Twitter user @NotFridayCraig.

Other Facebook family of apps such as Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Facebook Lite and  WhatsApp (which has a terrible dark mode for Android users) all have received the dark mode feature.

However, Facebook which is the main focus here is taking it a very long period for it to receive the feature. My opinion? Facebook is taking its time to develop a flawless feature that will cater for billions of users in different regions, different smartphone, connectivity and other technicalities.

The social giant also noted that the feature for now is available to a "small percentage of users" worldwide. So you might likely not see the option to turn on the feature in your Facebook app settings, though its gearing for a wider release.
