Facebook is the parent company of applications like Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, all compatible with dark mode. It is therefore surprising that the tech giant has waited so long to implement the expected functionality in its main application.
Facebook dropped its classic design in September, it is therefore mandatory to use the new Facebook interface which was implemented earlier this year. the new design, which began to deploy in March, is supports dark mode on desktop.
Messenger also has a dark mode option for users from last year. The function was also available on Facebook Lite for a few months, so it was only a matter of time before its implementation in the main Facebook application.
