In recent times, the so-called dark mode has achieved enormous popularity among a large number of users, which is why many operating systems (both computer and mobile phones) and applications offer useful updates to activate it.
It basically consists of a screen configuration that modifies the user interface , so that, instead of the default dark text being displayed, which appears on a light screen, white (or gray) text is presented against a screen black or dark.
For this reason, it is also known by other common names, such as dark theme, black mode, or night snot.
However, it is true that, at least for the moment, the so-called light mode or light mode remains the default setting for most computers, smart mobile phones and applications.
The idea behind this interface is that it would help reduce the light emitted by the device’s screens , while maintaining the minimum color contrast ratios necessary for adequate readability.
As far as smart mobile phones are concerned, it is true that both the iPhone and Android mobile devices offer the possibility of activating this option. At the same time, some apps also offer this option. This is the case, for example, of Facebook Messenger . And we explain how you can easily activate it.
Activating dark mode in Facebook Messenger
Some time ago, in one of its latest updates, Facebook decided to implement the dark mode option in its popular instant messaging application Messenger . In this way, when activated, the main background of the app changes to dark (black), instead of the white color that it incorporates by default.
This is a very useful option when you tend to use this application for many hours a day, as it helps reduce eye fatigue by reducing glare, which is ideal for making your eyes feel less tired.
To activate it, you need to start Facebook Messenger . To do this, we proceed to open the application from the home screen of our mobile phone. Once opened, click on the icon of our profile photo , which, on iPhone, for example, we will find located in the upper left.
This will open up a menu perk, with the Dark Mode option first. Once we click on it, three options will appear: Activated , No or System . If we want to activate it, we simply select the Activated option.
However, the System option (the one that is probably chosen by default), is useful to adjust the appearance automatically depending on the configuration that our mobile phone has.
Of course, in case you need to deactivate it, you just have to go back to this section and click on No , or again on System in case your operating system does not have this option activated by default.
