Dark mode lands in Facebook Lite

Facebook Lite gets dark mode feature Here’s how you can enable it

The Facebook lite app was designed for people with slower connections, or those just looking to reduce data usage and now there's a new reason to consider using it.

As well as offering a faster social networking experience, Facebook Lite now has dark mode.

For some reason Facebook saw fit to bring the eye-saving dark mode option to Facebook Lite before it lands in the main version of the app.

Here’s how you can activate the dark mode

 Step1: Download the latest version of Facebook Lite. (Dark mode is not available on iPhone)

Step 2: Go to the Settings menu, scroll down to the Dark mode’ and turn it on.

Step 3: Similarly, you can turn the dark mode off using the same process.

For those who don’t know, Facebook Lite, as its name suggests, is a lighter version of the Facebook app. The size of the app is not as big as the main Facebook app. Although all the major functionalities are there on the Lite app, it misses out on certain features. 

Interestingly, the Facebook Lite app gets all the new updates before it appears on the main app. People, who lack storage space in their phones, usually opt for the Facebook Lite app. Out of all the social media apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, only the photo-sharing app has a functional dark mode feature available for both its Android and iOS users. In order to activate the dark mode, one needs to have the updated version of Android and the latest iOS.
