**Facebook Tests A “Dark” Mode For Facebook Portal**

MENLO PARK, Calif. – Facebook is testing a new look for its Portal smart display devices. The company is trying out a “Dark” mode feature. This feature changes the screen’s appearance significantly.

The Dark mode option swaps the usual bright white backgrounds for darker shades. This means blacks and deep grays become prominent. Text and icons usually appear in white or light colors against these dark backgrounds. This creates a noticeable contrast.

The main goal is to improve user comfort. Many people find bright screens harsh on their eyes. This is especially true in dimly lit rooms or at night. Dark mode reduces the amount of bright light emitted. This makes viewing easier and potentially less straining. It could also help save battery life on portable Portal devices. Dark pixels require less power than bright ones on some screens.

This test is happening now. It is available on Portal devices for users who are part of Facebook’s testing programs. These users can find the Dark mode setting within their device’s display options. They can turn it on or off as they prefer.

This depends on the test results. Facebook stated it is always exploring ways to enhance the Portal experience.
