Troubleshooting

I don’t see the option for Dark Mode.

Facebook slowly rolled out Dark Mode to select users and only on select devices. But, if you do not see the Dark Mode option.

Verify that you’re running the latest version. This is important because it was a new update that presented Dark Mode, if it isn’t up-to-date, go ahead and update your app.

Next, if you’re using a web browser, update your browser to the latest version. you may be running an out-of-date version. When Dark Mode was first released, it was only available on the New Facebook.

If you’re running an older version you’ll need to switch to New Facebook before the option will appear.
