From last few years, there has been more emphasis from developers and now consumers also to imply dark theme or “dark mode” in the UI of the smartphones only.
Apple last year introduced a dark mode in its new Mac OS update and it’s rumoured that Apple is trying to come up with the same dark mode in the iOS device.
On the other hand, Samsung has finally implemented Dark UI from the inception of One UI, their latest UI for their current generation smartphones. But still, there are apps which have yet to support the dark mode to fully give you the feel of it.
This feature is not yet activated for everyone and is currently rolling out at a slow pace. You can try both of our methods and maybe it will work for you.
Note:-Make sure you are running the latest version of the Facebook Messenger App
