Facebook Messenger app gets a secret 'dark mode' ? here's how to enable it

Now, it's available to everyone who has the latest version of the app installed on their devices.Image credit: TechRadarTo unlock dark mode in Messenger, you must first send a message to someone you know (or even yourself) that consists solely of a crescent-shaped moon emoji (the one that looks like this: ☽).Once you've done that, several moon emoji will rain down over your conversation screen, letting you know that the feature has been unlocked and can be toggled on or off within the app's settings menu.Some users have reported instances of a pop-up window that will inform you of the new feature, though it appears that it doesn't happen for everyone.Image credit: TechRadarGet the best tech deals, reviews, product advice, competitions, unmissable tech news and more!TechRadar is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading digital publisher.
