Facebook now rolling out its biggest update for desktop users; here are all the features worth talking about

Social media giant Facebook is now rolling out its biggest update for desktop users, after first announcing it at its F8 developer conference last year. The new update was, until recently, being tested with a limited number of users and now it’s available for everybody. Facebook’s big focus here is speed, ease of use, and of course, bringing a full-blown “Dark Mode” to its desktop app. Dark Mode has been available on Facebook’s mobile app (both Android and iOS) for sometime now.

Dark Mode is designed to help users access Facebook in low brightness, contrast and vibrancy which reduces the screen glare for use in low light. The mode can simply be turned on as an option via a toggle in settings. In fact, the whole Facebook layout can now be changed to reflect the new look and feel via a toggle in the settings. Users can choose to switch back and forth between the newer and older Facebook design.
