WhatsApp is the immensely popular messaging app owned by Facebook and an app that’s long been in need of a dark theme. After rumours and beta testing, it’s finally here.

With a blog post and announcement video, WhatsApp has officially unveiled its darker theme. This was previously only an option for registered beta users on Android phones, but soon any user on iOS or Android will be able to try out the new theme.

According to WhatsApp, the update to the app that will include Dark Mode will be going live “in the coming days” to both Android phones and iPhones, after years of users begging for it to be implemented.

In its blog post, WhatsApp explains how it made its design decisions, saying it believes the app remains easily readable and comprehensible with the new colour scheme.

How to turn on WhatsApp dark mode

If you want to enable WhatsApp dark mode, then it’s as simple as enabling the dark mode setting in your phone’s main options menu, if you are running either Android 10 or iOS 13.

If you’re on an older version of Android, you can still use the theme but you have to go through the app settings into the “Chats” menu. You then tap “Theme” and select “Dark”. Unfortunately, older versions of iOS don’t have a WhatsApp dark mode option.

Turn on dark mode on ur fone it will turn on

The so called dark mode on android is terribly underwhelming, they should call it grey mode not dark mode, and to think they took 6 months to do this nonsense, the IOS version is much better

Just imagine , the instagram and Facebook dark modes are perfect , how hard is it to copy that

Facebook doesn't have dark mode or are you talking about the lite version ?

If you don’t have dark mode yet on your Android
Go to setting, about device, build number and tap on it till it says you now a developer,
Developer option should now appear under settings (Last option most times)
Now go to play store, an update will be available, update your whatsapp. Dark mode should be available in your whatsapp settings.

Not working on my iOS device. I’m in the latest iOS 13.3.1, after enabling dark mode on my phone I couldn’t find option for WhatsApp dark mode.
