After a months of beta testing, WhatsApp dark mode is now available on iOS and Android devices.
Users on Android 10 and iOS 13 can use dark mode by enabling it in system settings. Users on Android 9 and below can go into WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Theme > select ‘Dark’.
According to a blog post on WhatsApp, “We are very excited to update WhatsApp with the most requested feature from our users everywhere – dark mode. Dark mode for WhatsApp offers a fresh look on a familiar experience. It’s designed to reduce eye strain in low light environments. And we hope it helps prevent those awkward moments where your phone lights up the room.”
