WhatsApp Beta users are early testers of the App’s new features before an official release is rolled out through an update on the Applestore. Interestingly, being a Beta tester is free if you wish to join.

However, the new WhatsApp dark mode feature is limited to only IOS 13 users. In simple terms, only available to iPhone 6,7,8,10 and 11 owners as revealed by WABetaInfo__A WhatsApp Beta Twitter channel.

To Update to the new WhatsApp Beta version with dark mode (version 2.20.3025), all you need to do is visit the Apple store and update your App to get the latest version that ships with a dark mode toggle.

Once updated, kill any running WhatsApp processes by manually closing the App, then restart it to have a taste of the new dark mode texture evidenced from the App’s splash screen to the chats dashboard and bubbles.

Unlike Instagram for IOS which accepts system-wide dark mode settings to be applied to its layout, WhatsApp’s dark mode feature can only be enabled/applied through the App.

Dark mode packs a pile of benefits like low battery usage for your smartphone, minimal side-effects with the best being a dark layout for your Smartphone

Well, WhatsApp now supports this trendy feature that replaces light mode (basic white #ffffff) on smartphones, and you can either choose to cruise with the dark layout or shift back to the original light taste.

Best Dark mode usage is recommended during night hours while light mode wins the vote during day hours. For fewer meetups with the WhatsApp settings pane, turn on dark mode through your Smartphone settings, then choose System default in WhatsApp for automatic shifts between the light and dark modes

Activating WhatsApp Dark mode

• First, Update your WhatsApp to version 2.20.13 or newer
• Open the APP
• Head to Settings (:)
• Then Chats -> Themes
• Choose Between Light, Dark or System Default

By default, WhatsApp will open in the normal light mode, but if your phone supports dark mode by default, then WhatsApp will go with your system-wide setting by default, unless if changed through the above procedure

For now, dark mode for WhatsApp is limited to Android Beta users, and all you can do is to update your App through the Google Playstore. However, the feature will soon be rolled out to the base App now that it’s available through the Beta version.

At a time when WhatsApp was rumored to merge with Facebook and Instagram before news came out of a cryptocurrency to ease payments on the platforms. It’s when the messaging app now features a new dark mode feature for Android ssers after an early rollout to IOS.

WhatsApp dark mode is currently available for Beta Users on Android with version 2.19.82 leaked by WABetaInfo. Just like the iPhone layout, WhatsApp conversations displayed in dark mode have a black background, message balloons in gray and dark green, gray keyboard, white letters, and blue details.

However, it’s only the settings option and its inline options that so far have the new WhatsApp dark mode and we expect to see conversation chats spiced with a dark background in the next update. Either way, a couple of IOS WhatsApp features are slowly making their way to Android as Dark mode is just a slice of them all.

So as we eagerly wait for the next official update and a pile of dark mode accompanied tweaks. The new feature purely reflects that the messaging giant is slowly cruising to what the leading mod GBWhatsApp offers to users including more effective options where a user can fully customize the app to the best design and color.

Henceforth as WhatsApp ships in the long-awaited dark mode that will now allow you to choose between the basic White background and the Twitter night like mode on Android. It’s no doubt that the messaging platform will be just another exciting must have Smartphone companion at a time when feature phones like the MTN Kamunye come pre-installed with the app.
