Screenshots Reveal Facebook iOS App Has Hidden Dark Mode

Still, the alternative new look should be easier on the eyes when viewed in dark environments.

Having an OLED iPhone and having used several quasi-“dark” apps, this has never been the case for me. I end up increasing the screen brightness because the contrast between dark elements and bright/white elements just isn’t enough for visibility. It’s beyond frustrating and completely negates the point of having a screen where pixels turn OFF if they are true black. Even some first-party Apple apps are guilty of this. Not surprised that the most careless tech company on the planet is guilty as well.

All that being said, getting a good RSS feed app with true blacks and mainly using Reader View in Safari has been so wonderful for post-sunset iPhone use. Looking forward greatly to a day that iPads have individually-lit pixels whether through mini-LED or OLED.
 
Someone help me out and tell me what the supposed appeal of dark mode other than cosmetic. I do not like it, but people seem to be clamoring for it. Having both is best for everyone.

Dark mode has less strain on the eyes. Also there is a slight increase in battery life.
 
When dark mode was introduced in iOS I didn’t care at all at first. But then I just thought I‘ll give it a shot and now I love it (scheduled from sunset to sunrise). But what I really dislike is what most people actually want and that’s when an app has a true dark mode because then it often times looks horrible because of the smearing on my iPhone X. This is e. g. also the case with some iOS stock apps (Settings for example). I much, much prefer a dark grey dark mode in apps.

its embarrassing how long this takes. I woulda been happy if I could just smart invert the app itself. and nothing else....
 
Wow, this is really good accept now we've been waiting for almost a Gmail dark mode support, that you reported on. Need info!!!!!
 
Good. the greyscale themes are way better than apples complete black imo. The minuscule energy saving is irrelevant to me. Google Calendar for example looks fantastic now. Just wish GMail would follow suit.

Instead, keep Facebook in the dark by deleting it from your devices and signing out of accounts. It's honestly liberating being away from that rancid platform.

I used to call out people for comments like this but more and more, I agree. It's becoming twitter but with my wife's aunt talking ****.
 
By the time they deliver Dark Mode, Light Mode will be hip and trendy again.

Did you also delete Instagram? WhatsApp? Truly deleting FB means deleting everything that serves as a conduit from them to you.

I love how everyone feels the need to let everybody know they deleted their Facebook account.
 
every time i read an article about a facebook app, it doesn’t matter if is in ios, mac os, windows, android, these apps from FB always have hidden stuff, yet people still use it, this time it might be a feature but if that is hidden what other things might also be hidden, cmon is not like we can trust FB right

never been a fan of FB so i don’t have any account to delete

Because it really is quite liberating. It wasn't until the screen time feature became available that I realised how much time was wasted scrolling through literal drivel. And being a 20-something, I might as well have been friends with my friends' babies.
 
Why exactly is Facebook joining the dark mode party 7 months plus later front page news?
 
Facebook exists in dark mode.

Yes, I killed my Fartbook account 2 years ago. No T W A T T E R (censored unless written like that), no Insane-o-gram, no Snoopchat, no SNS at all. Except this censor-free forum! Ha!
