According to the screenshot shared by Wong, the dark mode has been set relatively well on the groups’ tab of the app. Other parts of the app show either dark text on a dark background or light text on light background indicating that Facebook is yet to refine the dark mode and that we’ll have to wait for longer for a more better looking and uniform dark mode on Facebook.

But the feature is definitely going to be launched officially in a few days to come
