Facebook's new web design and the promised dark mode are still a long way off. But now there is good news - the social media giant has finally commented on it.
In spring last year, Facebook officially announced the dark mode. It was supposed to be introduced in autumn – but in vain. The new design of the web version is still missing. However, the company has now CNET positively. "The New Facebook" should be available to most users by spring 2020 at the latest. The roll-out is now starting slowly - a dark mode is also firmly integrated. The report states:
Facebook has started giving some users access to its redesigned desktop experience, first announced in April, which is less cluttered and uses brighter icons. The company said it plans to offer the new look more widely sometime before spring.
Those who are among the selected users will receive a pop-up when registering. In it, they can choose between the old and new design. Facebook expressly emphasizes that users can switch back to the old web interface at any time. According to the report, "The New Facebook" also includes a full-fledged dark mode. It states:
If they agree, they can set the website to use either white backgrounds and light colors or a dark background, similar to the popular features offered on computers, iPhones and devices running Google's Android software!
“Facebook for iOS” – where is the dark mode?
The focus of the new design will be on communities, as the social media group explains:
We just announced a fresh, new design for Facebook that makes communities as central as friends. FB5 is simpler, faster, more immersive, and makes it easier to find what you're looking for and get to the features you use most.
But when will "Facebook for iOS" support dark mode? Unfortunately, this question has not been answered. However, it should not be long now. Apple has given developers a deadline of the end of April 2020. By then, all applications must support dark mode. Since Facebook is now refreshing its web interface, the long-awaited iOS update should not be far away. (Photo by timofeev / Bigstockphoto)
