13 August 2019
The feature is still under development and it's going to be a while before it's rolled out for all the users.

    i get the scare for privacy on facebook or any other social media platform for that matter, and i have long known facebook is spying indeed, but aren't people supposed to not share anything private online? if anything, the ones to blame are people who do not know how to use social media properly and securely. my concern really for facebook is more on the platform's ability to sway opinion of the masses often by misinformation. i have been with facebook since 2007, but i deleted my first account and registered for a new one in 2008 and this is the same profile i have been using since then. way back 2012 i knew facebook was spying on people, and at that time i thought it was just the smartphones' microphones- there was this time when our fridge suddenly stopped working and i was discussing with my wife on getting a new one instead or having it serviced, then as i opened my facebook app no more than a minute later my news feed was littered with ads about refrigerators! then this was followed by cases and cases of the same thing so i have become wary of what information i share on facebook. everyone should too, but this doesn't mean stopping or not using it altogether. i mean, social media is still a great tool and have become an indespensable part of our digital life now. rather, just be mindful of what you share (and probably what you say or do when your smartphone is around). i am not such an important individual nor do we have social credit rating system here in the philippines, so facebook's info about me is of no use to them. i don't mind ads on my services as long as they are relevant or personalized and not persistent; the internet is full of free content and i am aware that content creators earn revenue by ads, so i'm okay with ads. again, the only issue here is what people share online.

        Finally. This whole light-themed background on any app is killing people eyes.
        It's like been shot by high beam straight into the eyes when opening my phone in the room at night.
        Some younger people might not affected now but surely will experience the drawback of negative effect for the eyes in the future

With interface continuity. And after 10 years, facebook strugles to bring dark mode, which is all laughable. But hey, we all hope nobody will use them in the next 5 years, also their infected whatsapp. Telegram should already surpass whatsapp, is by far more feauture rich and privacy friendly where the user actually has control ovet it's Data.

                Facebook is a big bubble of p.
                I decided not to use it anymore because of the aggressive adds.
                I'm sure it wil go down soon.
                Whatsapp is best. I hope they will not use aggressivity in order to get money.

                                    Dark mode for WhatsApp had appeared in Beta back in March 2019 and since then they are still working on it. WhatsApp is more important than Facebook and Facebook Messenger as it had wider user base. Almost all social media apps now have either Night/Dark mode except WhatsApp. We need proper black mode and not grey or dark blue as Dark color.
