The latest update for Messages now has the option for Dark Mode, and also the Messages For Web has a Dark Mode as well!

Very nice. Now just add auto mode so it's white during day and black at night.
It's awesome! But they took away the widget... That might be a deal-breaker for me. Giving it a couple days.
They also removed the option to customize conversation color bubbles. The blue on blue looks hideous.
To be fair, about 80% of the color choices were terrible.. Like, 5 year old kid crayon colors. The do need to bring back the widget and color customizing though. Just a little more, grown up for the latter
Soooo, I changed my wallpaper, and now the new look is gone. Seriously. I've force closed, cleared cache, rebooted, nothing will bring it back. What. The. Eff... Maybe it wasn't turned on correctly on the server side with this update? Anyone else have this problem? I really miss it, but I went back one version and have my widget back. Not sure which I want more...
Damn. I came here to see if anyone else had it switch back on them. Stupid server side sh*t. Put the changes in the apk and leave my phone alone Google ?
Same here as well. The new material design simply disappeared and reverted back to the previous layout

They removed the entire new look actually. I bet they didn't mean to push out the new look with version 3.5. It would make sense as to why we had to force close to get it to show, and why it's back to the old design. Either way, dumb.
It will be back, some tweaking to do apparently. That looked so good, maybe the most visually appealing change I've ever seen made to an app.
Well, here's something ugly.
The new version that previously had dark mode as an option has been changed directly from Google. It's gone.
No more dark mode.
Hey so I pretty much Installed an apk that gave me the dark mode option.
But I can confirm that It was swiftly taken away magically.
(Rooting my device could solve this . . ?)
Really upset about this actually.

It was turned off on the server side. Just have to wait for it to be enabled again.

But in the grand scheme of things how to sway hireups to set black theme option default.
And its back with the latest update...for now.
