Facebook's dark mode reportedly starts showing up on some Android devices

Dark mode has been coming to several apps lately, whether it is Gmail, Instagram, Chrome, Google Maps or others. Even Facebook-owned messaging app, WhatsApp, is **reportedly working on its own dark mode** . Now, rumour has it that dark mode for the Android Facebook app has started appearing for some users. Facebook-owned Instagram has also got a dark mode.

The report also shared some screenshots that show different shades of black and grey that might appear in the app’s dark mode soon.

The user confirmed almost two months back that he also saw dark mode in the app for some time. He further emphasised that the dark mode did not appear by the “force dark mode” option.

A couple of more users tweeted about the same, sharing the screenshots of the dark mode. Back in August app researcher **Jane Manchun Wong first spotted** the Facebook app for Android users will soon get dark mode. Wong also tweeted an image describing how this dark mode would look like. Since Instagram has already got this mode, Facebook might soon introduce it in its app as well. It was **also recently reported** that just like Instagram’s “Close Friends” feature, Facebook might also be working on the “Favourites” feature to allow users to share more freely on the platform.
