WhatsApp dark mode is official

As announced via a blog post, WhatsApp has started rolling out the 'most requested feature' for both iOS as well as Android users globally. Since it was a gradual rollout, the WhatsApp dark mode was available for some users. The feature is now available for all.

Introducing the dark mode on WhatsApp to the world, WhatsApp has also released a short video, named, 'Hello Darkness' to tell how the dark mode can lead to increased readability in dark situations. This will reduce eye fatigue, will save the battery of your Android or iOS smartphone, and will use colours that are closer to the system defaults on both Android and iOS.

We, at India TV Digitial, checked the WhatsApp dark mode on both our iPhone and Android phones and it is now available on both the devices.
