Default WhatsApp dark mode is finally here for Android and iOS; makes a short film to celebra

WhatsApp has just announced that it is finally rolling out the much anticipated Dark mode on its platform. As part of the rollout, users across the globe will start receiving the dark mode starting today. The company claims that this mode gives a fresh feel to a familiar experience. It will also ensure that users experience less strain on their eyes in low-lit environments. However, the company has not gone with pure black and white colors as it results in eye fatigue. Instead, WhatsApp has tweaked the colors to include dark gray along with off-white colors. These colors decrease the brightness of the screen along with reduced glare.

The company also revealed that it has made a short film to celebrate the arrival of the Dark mode. This short film is known as “Hello Darkness” and uses a “previously-unreleased version of The Sound of Silence” from Paul Simon. As per the information available, WhatsApp has increased the readability while bringing the color scheme closer to the system default. In addition, the company has also ensured that the most important information stands out to users in this redesign. Taking a closer look, Android 10 and iOS 13 users can enable the dark mode from the system settings. However, users running Android 9 and below need to head to the “Theme” section in the “Chats” sub-section in WhatsApp Settings.
