WhatsApp Dark Mode Rolling Out for Beta Testers on Android: Here’s How to Enable It:

WhatsApp has finally received a highly anticipated feature – a native dark mode. Yes, the heavily leaked dark mode in WhatsApp, whose traces began popping up in the app’s interface and code months ago, is now finally available in all its glory to users. WhatsApp’s native dark mode is simply called Dark in the theme selection interface, and it imparts a dark green profile to the messaging app’s entire UI with some contrasting colours here and there. The home screen and the settings menu are now clad in a dark colour, but in case of the conversation interface, only the chat bubbles are dark while the background is white or it reflects any other colour users have set as background.

Important: But before we go ahead on how the feature is activated, it must be noted that dark mode is currently available only to the beta testers as of now. There is no word as to when the feature will be rolled out via the stable channel, but it shouldn’t take very long.

Dark mode in WhatsApp has already begun rolling out for beta testers via Google Play, and it comes with the new v2.20.13 update. If you are a beta tester and are yet to receive the update, you can download the WhatsApp beta v2.20.13 APK from APKMirror here. WABetaInfo says if users don’t see the WhatsApp dark mode at first after installing the update, they need to delete and reinstall the latest build of the app from Google Play Store or the link given above. Of course, delete the app only after backing up your chat history.
