Facebook Messenger: Dark Mode
Available to select users since 2018, the Dark Mode of Facebook Messenger reached everyone on the social network. But if you're looking forward to using the app on your phone with a dark background, don't worry. There are a few things you need to do first to enable the function, as Dark Mode in the app is still a little secret. I mean, it was.
First, of course, you have to make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the app, be it for Android ou iOS. After that, the scheme is simple:
- Open a conversation with someone (it could even be yourself) and send them a crescent moon emoji. This one, oh:

Benefits of Dark Mode
Despite making the appearance of your operating system or your applications more pleasing to the eye, Dark Mode is not the only thing that lives in the Dark Mode, the current darling of developers and users. There's a lot of good stuff behind the dark background with white letters on your screen.
For starters: battery saving. Yes! The dark background helps to reduce the energy consumption of your device, as the dark background is less bright, so it consumes less energy, but without losing image quality.
In addition, Dark Mode also reduces the sensitivity of the eyes to screens and their emission of blue light, which mainly impairs vision in darker environments, so this function is also known as Night Mode, as it was designed in decrease this emission of blue light from the screens to the eyes at night, which can compromise sleep, even causing insomnia.
