Just use the built-in emoji search function to quickly find what you’re looking for in roughly a thousand different emojis.
Ohhhh.
You should be able to copy and paste it from the article: https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/02/facebook-messenger-dark-mode/
The forum doesn’t support emoji yet. Soon.
Wow, what an innovative feature! I hope Siri is way smarter and Apple Maps etc. has way more data in iOS 13. I hope Apple fixes the layout of first-party apps to be operable with one hand. Landscape mode system wide would be great too, now that there’s the iPhone XS Max.
Yikes... using creepy facebook for anything nowadays, especially your personal conversations they can scan through via messenger:
Didn’t have to restart the app; worked instantly. And looks insanely great in the X’s OLED
"It's the darkest theme we've ever made. It will change the way we look at our conversations forever."
As a user/consumer I agree with you. As a developer, I can only say that it is a lot of more work to do, to implement a solution that will eventually also be incompatible with the system wide dark mode in iOS 13.
I’m looking forward to dark mode in iOS 13, but at the same time, I’m disappointed in Apple that it took until 2019 to say that.
When it comes to Facebook, you have to think about what else is hidden from the user that FB never mentions. I think people need to treat it as Malware.
Worked for me right away. Didn’t need to close app.
It’s buggy. Some things don’t appear - like when you click on someone to chat with, and it has the “Wave” option, the ‘x’ to close out can’t be seen. Also, sometimes the vertical list of contact shows only small photos and no names to the right. But not always. Weird.
Not sure if I like the dark mode. The black does look nice on my XSMax, though.

It seems like the feature isn't available to everyone yet. Facebook is known to slowly roll out new features to small groups of people rather than all at once.
