Activate Night Mode in the Facebook Application Now!

Activate Night Mode in the Facebook Application Now!

Almost all popular mobile applications have night (night, dark) mode, only Facebook is not there yet. However, you can enable night mode in the Facebook application now!

This "trick" actually works with all the apps you have installed on your phone, and requires Android 10 or later.

Instruction

This option is hidden in the Android system, which means that you will not need any application or script to activate it.

Step 1: Developer options

You must first enable "Developer options" to access this option. To enable this hidden set of options, follow these steps:

  1. Open the phone settings
  2. Go to the "About" section
  3. Open Software Information (some phones don't have this step)
  4. Quickly tap "Build number" a dozen times
  5. Once you see the message "You are now a developer" you can stop tapping

Step 2: Dark Mode

Now go back to the phone settings (main screen) and go all the way down. You'll see a new item called "Developer Options" - enter here.

First, make sure that the entire Developer options screen is enabled. You'll see a switch at the top, so set it to "On" if it isn't already.

Now go down until you come across "Force Dark Mode" - enable it.

Note: Not all devices have the same location. If you can't find it, tap up on the magnifying glass and type "force dark" (without quotes).

Step 2: Dark Mode

Exit the settings and restart the phone. This step is not mandatory, but it happens that some applications do not switch to night mode completely, so it is better to restart the phone just in case.

Enter Facebook and you will see that night mode is enabled!

Here are some pictures of what night mode looks like in the Facebook app:

This way you have forced night mode in all the apps on your phone. If you want to choose which applications will have night mode and which will not, then you can install one such application. For this application, you will need a little more skill to use it without root, but you can follow the official instructions, which are not complicated.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link .

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
