hi everyone it's nat from studio hacks
and in this video i am going to show you
how you can enable
dark mode in the ios
facebook app this will work on any
iphone
or ipad that is running ios 13 or later
and it's really nice for your eyes if
you don't like the bright
normal color scheme um you can actually
turn
on the dark mode for your iphone
in all the iphone apps and i will show
you how to do this in facebook
now first of all i'll show you how to
get the iphone dark mode
because this will work perfectly fine
for
messenger so i'm going to open my
settings
right here and then
i'm going to scroll down until i see
control center
and under the control center i'm going
to select customize controls
i'm then going to scroll down and you
can see that we can add a dark mode
button right here and
if you don't know what the control
center is it's
this little thing when you swipe up
and on the later iphones you are you
access the control center and on the
ipad by
swiping down from the top right hand
corner
this is a bit of an older iphone so i
still swipe up to get my control center
so now that i have that dark mode
available
i can then flick that up and hit this
button right here to enable dark mode it
says dark mode on
and you'll notice that when you go into
any of the menus now
everything is all nice and in that dark
mode there
so all of the apple apps
and um you know like podcast all the
ones that come
with the iphone will all be in dark mode
and you can switch that on and off even
within the apps
that's what it normally looks like the
podcasts and then
that's what it looks like with dark mode
um
so you can also switch on dark
mode on and off within the
facebook messenger app if i open the
facebook messenger app
i can go to the top left hand corner
and you'll see that there's actually a
dark mode setting
right there so i can switch it on and
off
or i can select system so it'll select
whatever i have on the iphone so i'm
just going to keep that on
i really like using dark mode in all
my devices one other really handy
tip is under the settings
um under the display
sorry under the wallpaper you can select
that the dark appearance
dims the wallpaper so you can see that
when i have my wallpaper in the
background and i'll switch to dark mode
it makes the wallpaper behind it makes
everything
a little bit darker which is really nice
on the eyes especially if you're light
sensitive
now when it comes to the actual facebook
ios app there is no
easy way to enable
dark mode well there's no simple way
rather because
when i switch dark mode on
you'll see that it does not change the
facebook app at all so there is a little
hack
a little workaround that we can use to
enable
dark mode it's not ideal but it does
work especially if you use facebook all
the time
we are going to go into settings and
then we are actually going to
scroll down and to accessibility
and then under accessibility we want to
select display and text
size and then under this
menu we do have a smart invert
and this will actually invert uh
everything smart invert reverse
the colors of the display except for
images
and then this is kind of a way of
forcing dark mode upon the facebook app
now you'll notice that it's inverted all
the images so it looks really weird
so what i need to do is double click on
my home button
and get rid of the basically
restart the facebook app and when i go
back into it
all the images should be back to
normal again let's see if we can find an
image
there we go you'll see there's a nice
doggo there
with a pancake with a nutella pancakes
my goodness
so that's how you do that and then um so
if you're going to be using facebook for
a while you can have that smart invert
on
i know it's not a true dark mode but
it is a kind of workaround you can
always go back and switch off that smart
invert
so i hope you found that content useful
