In March, Facebook Messenger provided you with a cradle, where if you were sending an emoji with the crescent to a friend then your screen would switch to night mode.
From yesterday and all over the world, night mode has been added to your Messenger settings so you can black-out your screen whenever you want.
Night mode, or “dark mode”, changes the screen in Messenger, removing the white and perhaps annoying background and making it black. In theory, it is easier on the eye and with less consumption energys.
To turn your Android screen to night mode, tap on your profile picture in the app. You will enter your preferences and settings. Then, at the top of the menu, you will see a switch labeled "Night mode". Press it and the screen will turn black.
The feature, which was announced yesterday, is currently rolling out to users around the world. If you can't see it, you may need to update the app, as in Greece has already come.
Facebook notes that you can still enable dark mode by simply sending a moon emoji to your friends. This n choice remains for their close friends emojis. But for everyone else, you better follow the steps above.
