Facebook's redesigned desktop experience is now officially live, bringing a less cluttered look, brighter icons and a dark mode. The social media giant says most people should see the new desktop look within the next couple of weeks.
As seen in Facebook’s video, activating dark mode for desktop is as simple as toggling the option on the upper-right side of the screen.

The launch of dark mode to the desktop version of Facebook follows the feature’s official launch on Messenger in April. Facebook-owned WhatsApp also introduced dark mode in March, with the messaging service claiming that it was the most requested feature among users.
In addition to rolling out dark mode, the Facebook.com redesign improves navigation on the desktop site, making it easier to search for content such as videos, games, and Groups, the company said. The home page and page transitions now also load faster.
The redesign also makes it easier to create Events, Pages, Groups, and ads on the social network. Users will be able to preview a new Group before starting it, and will also get to see what it will look like on the mobile app.
