Facebook rolled out a major redesign to its Messenger platform before this year, but the modern refresh lacked one major feature the social network had promised: nighttime mode.

However, the feature is now bachelor for some through an emoji, of all things.

On both Android and iOS, if you lot ship someone a crescent moon (?) emoji, Messenger begins raining moons on your chat. A pop-up at the acme of the screen will appear that says you've found night way. It'll likewise take a button that takes you to the settings menu to turn on night mode.

When yous enable dark mode, Messenger warns that the characteristic is however a work in progress and information technology won't appear everywhere while developers put the finishing touches on information technology.

That said, the dark manner seems to piece of work only about everywhere, excluding a few small subsections of the app.

It's besides worth noting that some people may take to restart the app to get it to work. On my OnePlus 6T, the outset crescent moon I sent didn't work. Nonetheless, later opening the multitasking view and closing Messenger, then opening the app again and sending another crescent emoji, I unlocked the characteristic.
