WhatsApp is a popular messaging app and used by over 1.5 billion monthly active users across the globe. It offers a variety of chat and privacy-related features for free. Facebook, the owner of WhatsApp, keeps on adding the latest features to the app to help it stay ahead of the other apps. But the only function WhatsApp is missing for a long time now is the dark theme.
The dark theme has become a trendsetter. The majority of Google apps, system-wide dark mode in Android 10 and iOS 13, Instagram, Twitter, and dozens more already got the dark theme. However, WhatsApp is an exception. The developers announced to be working on a dark theme for WhatsApp mobile and desktop for a long time now. But there were no official words on the rollout date.
Two days ago, popular WhatsApp data miner WABetaInfo found a workaround to enable dark mode on Whatsapp’s web version. The web version of WhatsApp is the same as the mobile version, but it runs on a web interface. If you want to try out the dark mode on WhatsApp Web, follow this TechCodex guide to learn more.
