How To Activate Dark Mode Feature On WhatsApp Android and iOS

Recent apps are now implementing the dark background effect on their platforms ultimately to give users a more enjoyable experience when using their interfaces at night or in dark spaces. Many individuals don't keep the safest distance between their eyes and phones' screen, so the dark mode can be employed to give a better visual effect.

WhatsAp, just last year, finally joined this trend by integrating the dark mode feature which changes the interface of the platform to a black background with text colours that properly sync with the effect (grey, white, and blue).

Asides from reducing the glare that soothes your eyes better, it also offers low power usage to make your battery last longer while on the app.

HOW TO ACTIVATE WHATSAPP'S DARK BACKGROUND

For Android:

Enter Settings on WhatsApp by tapping on the three-dotted icon.
Navigate to Chats >> Theme, and select "Dark" from the pop-up box.

For iOS:

If your device is running on version older than iOS 14, you can simply follow the same steps above. But as for iOS 14 itself and later,
Open Settings on WhatsApp and tap on "Display and Brightness".
Select "Dark". You can make the dark mode default by choosing "automatic" in order to allow it enable the feature each time its evening.
