WhatsApp is finally rolling out, for
all Android beta users, the Dark Theme feature!
WhatsApp Dark
Mode is finally here, a much-awaited feature that has been in the rumor mill
for months. It must be noted that dark mode is currently available only to the
beta testers as of now. There is no word as to when the feature will be rolled
out via the stable channel, but it shouldn't take very long.
WhatsApp's native
dark mode is simply called Dark in the theme selection interface, and it
imparts a dark green profile to the messaging app's entire UI with some
contrasting colours here and there. Once dark mode is turn on, the device theme
will switch from the default white theme to a dark grey theme and text will
also chage from black to white.
The WhatsApp home
screen and the settings menu are now clad in a dark colour, but in case of the
conversation interface, only the chat bubbles are dark while the background is
white or it reflects any other colour users have set as background.
How To Enable Dark Theme
First You have to
updated to the latest beta version the 2.20.13 installed
Then Go to Settings >> Chats >> Theme
Tap on that, and
you’ll be able to pick whether you want WhatsApp’s look and feel to follow your
device’s look and feel, or default to Light or Dark mode.
Light theme: it’s the usual white theme that you have
always used in these years.
Dark theme: it’s the one that you wished to have in
WhatsApp!
System default: WhatsApp identifies the theme used by
your Android system (if light or dark), and sets it in WhatsApp automatically.
It’s useful if you use the latest Android version (Android Q) that supports
Dark theme system-wide.
Set by Battery Saver: available on Android 9 and
lower versions, allows to automatically switch to light/dark theme, in
according to your Battery Saver settings.
