Have you been waiting so long for the WhatsApp Dark Mode? Finally late in the evening or early in the morning to check your messages without being immediately blinded, so nice for the eyes. This way you can set the dark mode on iPhone and Android smartphones.
The makers of WhatsApp have not forgotten the importance of a dark mode. After all, it has long been known that the blue light from smartphone screens is not exactly top for your sleep rhythm. It only took a while before the implementation in WhatsApp was actually there. Beta version testers have been using it for a while. Now the dark mode is also available for regular users. You set it as follows.
Make sure you are running the latest version of WhatsApp. If the app does not update automatically, first go to your app store and perform the update manually there.
WhatsApp Dark Mode iOS
Owners of an iPhone have it easy. WhatsApp automatically takes over the dark mode of your system settings. Side note: you do need at least iOS 13, on older iOS versions the option is not there. Go for it Settings, Display and brightness. Put the option there Dark if you have not already done so. WhatsApp now colors dark, you don’t have to set anything anymore within the app itself.
WhatsApp Dark Mode Android
It works slightly differently on Android. If you are on Android 10, WhatsApp also takes over your system settings. Depending on the Android shell – which differs per brand – you will find the dark setting for the entire Android in a different location. You may already see the setting in the dropdown menu with shortcuts. But on a Huawei phone, for example, you go to Settings, Screen and brightness and check Dark On. So search, so.
Is your device still on Android 9 or lower (and that chance is considerable), then you set the dark mode of WhatsApp within WhatsApp itself. That works as follows. Open WhatsApp and tap on the top three balls. Choose Settings, Chats, Theme. Here you can switch between light and Dark. Once opted for the dark mode, you notice that menus and backgrounds within WhatsApp look much less bright. Your eyes are grateful!
