You can turn on dark mode by clicking on your profile, “Edit profile and settings,” and “preferences,” the company tells The Verge.
Making dark mode took almost a year, but work accelerated on it earlier this year after an engineer had an idea to launch an “ultra dark mode” as a joke at an internal hackathon, the company says. Work on the ultra dark mode contributed to the actual dark mode that’s here today.
