Facebook’s dark mode feature has disappeared for some people – but why?
Facebook has had dark mode available as an option for desktop, iOS and Android users since 2020, but some users are posting that they're now unable to switch the feature on.
The color scheme can be more manageable on the eyes when scrolling through your newsfeed or a set of videos, especially at night.
Other apps from Meta have also benefited from dark modes such as Instagram and WhatsApp, but Facebook seems to switch the feature off from time to time.
We've reached out to Facebook for comment to find out why it's been switched off for certain users.
How to check if you have dark mode
Dark mode can be difficult to find on iOS or Android, as it's not as visible as other features. On the main screen, go to the 'Menu' icon on the navigation bar, then Settings & Privacy, scroll down to Preferences, and Dark Mode should be there.
However, for the desktop it's an easier affair by simply going to the arrow on the top right, selecting 'Display and Accessibility', and switching on dark mode.
There hasn't been an explanation from Meta as to why it's decided to switch off the feature for some, nor is there a reason regardless to do it. It's a useful feature, and it won't be a strain on the company or the apps it offers, so the deactivation is a baffling decision.
For the time being, we recommend removing the app from your Android or iOS device, reinstalling it, and see whether that makes dark mode return as an option.

Update from the LiS team:
We are aware that players have been running into some bugs whilst playing the #LifeIsStrange Remastered Collection, and want to assure you that we are looking into all reports and working hard on upcoming patches.
You can expect to see a patch roadmap in an upcoming blog soon.
For now, we are happy to share some preliminary details. Fixes for crashes experienced in BTS:R Ep 1 on PS4 are submitted for testing and will be deployed in a patch once they are approved. From approval to release this will still take several working days.
A fix has also been submitted for the visible subtitle strings/missing subtitle issue on all platforms and will be deployed once it is tested and approved. A temporary workaround is to change your subtitle language in the pause > Settings menu, and then change it back.
Discolored character shaders in BTS:R – a fix has been identified and is undergoing testing for a second patch. In the meantime, exit and restart the game to fix the issue. We can also confirm that a 60fps mode will be coming to LiS:R for PS5 and XSX in a later patch.
We would lastly like to thank you for your reports, helping us quickly identify and look into issues.

Key Improvements

• All character models feature more emotive and expressive animation, more natural hair physics, and updated tears, injuries, and more
• Updated character models and environment visuals
• All-new engine and lighting upgrades
• Updates to some puzzle gameplay
• Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered includes previously released deluxe content (bonus outfits and the ‘Farewell’ bonus episode)

Brightness/Gamma Settings
Don't forget to adjust the games' default Gamma Settings to tweak the brightness and shadow to your taste! You can find the Gamma settings at the top of the Settings > Video Settings menu in both titles. Access Video Settings either from the main menu, or from the pause menu during gameplay.
Stores/General Entitlement Notes:
For clarity, we wanted to share some information in advance of any issues you might face when trying to download the game as part of entitlement to the Life is Strange: True Colors Ultimate Edition, or otherwise.
• Life is Strange: True Colors Ultimate Edition customers will see/be able to download the Remastered Collection games to which they are entitled once the two Remastered games are released. Because of the way console store bundles are structured, Add-Ons and bonus bundle content are not visible on-store and in a customer’s console library until they are actually released. This may have presented as being able to add the Life is Strange Remastered Collection to your store cart before release / not see the games you have purchased as part of the Ultimate Edition. Now that the games are released, you should be able to see them, ready for download. You may need to refresh or restart your console if they have not appeared automatically after 5PM GMT / 9PM PST on February 1.
• On PlayStation, both games are available as cross-generation compatible PS4 versions, so there is no PS5-specific version available to purchase. The PS4 version on the PlayStation store will run on PS4, PS4 Pro, and PS5..
• The two games install / can be installed separately from one another, appear as separate games in your library, and are launched independently. They can only be purchased as the paired Remastered Collection – except on Stadia, where the games are available separately.
• Do let us know through our customer support link if you are still experiencing any issues with your game entitlement: https://sqex.link/pwl
Pre-Order Zombie Crypt Chloe Outfit DLC
We have become recently aware, due to some last-minute issues, that the pre-order bonus ‘Zombie Crypt’ Outfit for Chloe is missing from the PlayStation and Stadia versions of Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered. All customers who pre-ordered the game up to 8am PST on the day of launch will receive the outfit DLC entitlement once an upcoming patch is issued, and we stress your entitlement is not affected. We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience to your first experience with the game. Expect news on when to expect this patch soon.
Rest assured we are dedicated to improving the user experience of the Life is Strange: Remastered Collection post-launch through a series of patches. We thank you for any reports, helping us to identify and fix issues as quickly as possible. Do let us know through our customer support link if you are experiencing any issues: https://sqex.link/pwl
