WhatsApp dark mode now available for iOS and Android

Facebook finally says hello to darkness

WhatsApp is finally getting a new dark mode on iOS and Android today. After months of beta testing on both mobile operating systems, the WhatsApp dark mode will be available for all users today. If you already have dark mode enabled at the system level on iOS 13 or Android 10, then WhatsApp will automatically switch over. Android 9 users can simply enable a new dark theme in the WhatsApp settings menu.

 

Facebook has tweaked its WhatsApp dark mode to ensure it lowers the brightness of a phone display. “During testing we found that combining pure black and white creates high contrast that can lead to eye fatigue,” explains a WhatsApp spokesperson. “So instead, you’ll notice a special dark gray background and off-white color that lowers the brightness of the screen, cuts down the glare, and improves contrast and readability.”

The WhatsApp dark theme will be mostly pure black on iOS devices and a darker gray on Android. It’s a long-awaited feature, one that WhatsApp acknowledges in a launch video (above) with lots of people squinting into their phones. The short video, entitled “Hello Darkness,” includes a previously unreleased version of “The Sound of Silence” by Paul Simon.

 

You can download the latest WhatsApp update from Apple’s App Store or the Google Play Store to get the new dark mode option.

How to enable dark mode on Android 9 or below:

  • After updating WhatsApp to the latest version (v2.20.64), open the app.
  • Go to Settings, followed by a tap on Chats.
  • Now, you will see here Theme option here, tap on it.
  • Choose Dark from the menu and tap OK.

 

Currently, only two variants (armeabi-v7a and arm64-v8a) are released at the moment (and at this time of writing). Have to wait for other variants.
