How to manually turn on Facebook Messenger’s Dark Mode feature

Dark Mode is a popular theme across online platforms and apps. And now, it seems Facebook is also willing to extend the ability to its Messenger platform.

As the feature is not officially rolled out, there’s a trick to enable Dark Mode. Folks at Android Police have discovered a way to turn on the Dark Mode. This is how it works.

In order to turn on the Dark Mode, all you have to do is send someone a crescent moon emoji. You can also send it to yourself. You have to tap through the ensuing popup menu. Some users had to double-tap the moon emoji, while others had to restart Messenger to unlock the mode.
