WhatsApp rolls out dark mode

One of the most requested features in WhatsApp over the last couple of years — the dark mode — is finally available on Android. 

WhatsApp Inc on Tuesday shared a video on Twitter announcing the launch of dark mode with the caption, “Finally. Dark mode on WhatsApp.”

This development led to a meme fest on Twitter, wherein users shared how they viewed the dark mode as — vis-a-vis, and quite funnily, their own life.

Users can now manually set dark mode for WhatsApp, or have the app match the system theme automatically.

“We are very excited to update WhatsApp with the most requested feature from our users everywhere – dark mode,” the instant messaging service announced on its blog.

It explains that it is designed to reduce eye strain in low light environments and possibly prevent the awkwardness of having your phone light up the room.
