How to Turn ON Facebook Dark Mode on Desktop

Facebook previously introduced dark mode in its Messenger app for iPhone. However, there are millions who use Facebook on both Mac and Windows computers. If you often find yourself on this social media channel till late in the evening or night, it’s nice to turn on Facebook dark mode on desktop. This can help limit eye strain. Moreover, you can easily disable dark mode when you don’t need it during the day.

How to Get Facebook Dark Mode on Desktop

First off, open www.facebook.com in your computer browser
Sign in with username and password, and then click on the down arrow from top right corner.
From drop-down menu, click ‘Switch to new Facebook’.
You will be greeted with a box that reads: Welcome to a Fresh, Simpler Facebook. You can turn on dark mode, catch up quickly with faster loading times, and find things easily
Click on Next button.
Again, a box appears on the screen. You will be prompted to choose between Light and Dark.
Click on Dark and then ‘Get Started’.

In case you want to turn off Facebook dark mode on desktop, you can follow the same steps. However, you should not forget that you are now using a new Facebook. Click on the Account tab from top right corner and from the drop-down list, and disable Dark mode.

That’s all friends!
