The dark mode feature is no longer a new feature in the smartphone space, however, a lot of users will still be excited to have the feature on their Facebook mobile app. The feature not only helps you interact with the app better at night or in dark places, but it also reduces the strain on the eyes for users who spend hours on Facebook.
