FACEBOOK will be testing out Dark Mode for its mobile app.
Coding expert Jane Manchun Wong announced the news on Twitter but only certain users will get to try out the feature.
Dark Mode will be tested publicly on Android and iOS phones.
However, it’s unclear which users will get access to the trial.
To check if you’re one of them, go to the Menu and then the Settings & Privacy section of your Facebook app.
Here some lucky users will find a Dark Mode button.

They’ll be an option to slide Dark Mode on or off.
If you already have Dark Mode turned on in your smartphone’s general settings then you may see Facebook change automatically.
Presumably, if the test goes well then the Dark Mode could roll out to all Facebook app users.
Earlier this year, Facebook gave users of the desktop version an option for Dark Mode.
Lots of popular apps, including WhatsApp, already have this feature so Facebook is taking its time in rolling this out fully.
Benefits of Dark Mode include prolonging the battery life of your phone and enabling a more discreet way of browsing in dark environments.
