    Facebook's dark mode feature has disappeared for some people - but why?

    Description:
    Facebook has removed the darker look for iOS and Android users, but this
    isn't the first time this has happened.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Facebook has had dark mode available as an option for desktop, iOS and
    Android users since 2020, but some users are posting that they're now unable to switch the feature on.

    The color scheme can be more manageable on the eyes when scrolling through your newsfeed or a set of videos, especially at night.

    Other apps from Meta have also benefited from dark modes such as Instagram
    and WhatsApp , but Facebook seems to switch the feature off from time to time .

    Dark mode can be difficult to find on iOS or Android, as it's not as visible as other features. On the main screen, go to the 'Menu' icon on the
    navigation bar, then Settings & Privacy, scroll down to Preferences, and Dark Mode should be there. (Image credit: TechRadar)

    However, for the desktop it's an easier affair by simply going to the arrow
    on the top right, selecting 'Display and Accessibility', and switching on
    dark mode.

    There hasn't been an explanation from Meta as to why it's decided to switch off the feature for some, nor is there a reason regardless to do it. It's a useful feature, and it won't be a strain on the company or the apps it
    offers, so the deactivation is a baffling decision.

    For the time being, we recommend removing the app from your Android or iOS device, reinstalling it, and see whether that makes dark mode return as an option. How to use Facebook Messenger
