Tech news 16 April 2019

CAPE TOWN – Facebook has announced that it is making its dark mode feature for Messenger available to all users.

Bridget Pujals, Product Manager, Messenger at Facebook said in a statement: "After a month-long Easter Egg activation with countless crescent moon emojis, we are excited to announce that everyone around the world will be able to activate dark mode in Messenger with a simple toggle switch from settings. The toggle is rolling out globally today."

"To activate, simply tap your profile photo in Messenger to access your settings and toggle on dark mode to switch the chat aesthetic from white to black."

According to the company, Messenger’s dark mode provides lower brightness while maintaining contrast and vibrancy. Dark mode cuts down the glare from your phone for use in low light situations, so you can use the Messenger features you love no matter when or where you are.
