WhatsApp Dark mode is here – How to enable?

Yesterday, we reported that WhatsApp is planning to roll out dark mode and today, its available for both Android and iOS. It will be available for all users, and if you have already enabled dark mode at the system level on iOS 13 or Android 10 then it will automatically switch over.

A WhatsApp spokesperson talked about the new feature “During testing we found that combining pure black and white creates high contrast that can lead to eye fatigue. 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 dark theme will be pure black on iOS devices and dark gray on Android.
