This is the dark theme of Facebook Messenger Messenger
Dark theme fans are in luck. A famous messaging application takes the leap and joins this trend. And no, it's not WhatsApp, but it's its cousin Facebook Messenger. The Facebook messaging tool has already begun to show its dark tone to some users from different countries It is currently in the testing phase, but details are being finalized so whoever wants to can apply it and enjoy black backgrounds instead of white.
The Facebook Messenger messaging application has spent years advocating simplicity and cleanliness in its design. This translates into the disappearance of superfluous buttons and lines, and a predominance of white backgrounds. Well, now the tables turn for users who want more darkness and a supposed improvement in energy efficiency. And it is that, when activating this dark mode, white becomes black in terms of backgrounds For its part, the black text becomes white so that legibility is not be affected. Meanwhile, the gray tones in normal mode change to a darker tone. Of course, the blue buttons, the emoticons and the icons with other colors remain the same. At least in this trial version.
With this the legibility is maintained, and the style, sensations and experience of use as well.They only change the colors for those who do not want to disturb their vision with excessive brightness, or for those who want to get the most out of their mobile's battery taking advantage of the virtues of a lower brightness in dark tones.
As we say, at the moment it is a test limited to a small number of users in different countries. And it is that you have to refine some details before Facebook launches the function for all users, both on Android and iPhone. Those who have already been able to try it have found the function in the Me tab of the application That is, by clicking on the icon of their face in the upper right corner of the Facebook Messenger application. In this menu, among the other options and settings of the account, it is possible to find the option to activate the dark mode. With this, the background color is polarized and becomes black. It is the best way you have to know if this function has reached your mobile.
At the moment Facebook has not specified an official arrival date for this function But its appearance on the mobiles of different users only gives clues to how advanced this feature is. So maybe, over the course of a couple of weeks, the feature will have matured enough to release to the rest of the world. We will remain attentive.
