Facebook confirms that the company is testing dark mode for smartphone apps after successfully launching the feature for its desktop interface. The social media giant has made dark mode available to a very small percentage of people globally, a spokesperson told The Verge in an email Sunday.

Facebook has not given an official timeline for when the dark mode will be available to all mobile users however users that have the new feature tweeted screenshots of what it looks like:
At present, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger already have a dark mode for its smartphone app.
