After many months of beta testing on both iOS and Android, Facebook is finally enabling Dark Mode for WhatsApp for all users today (Tuesday 3rd March 2020). Dark Mode will be mostly pure black on iOS devices and a darker gray on Android. So, how do you enable it? Besides ensuring that you’re running the latest app version of WhatsApp on iOS or Android, there’s not much for you to do actually. If you already have Dark Mode enabled at the system level on iOS 13 or Android 10, then WhatsApp will automatically switch over to the new Dark Mode. iOS 13 is a requirement to enable Dark Mode there. If you’re running Android 9, you can simply enable a new dark theme in the WhatsApp Settings Menu. Facebook didn’t just slap a dark theme onto WhatsApp, however. They took their time to ensure Dark Mode actually lowers the brightness of a phone’s display. According to a WhatsApp Spokesperson: During testing we found that combining pure black and white creates high contrast that can lead to eye fatigue. So instead, you’ll notice a special dark gray background and off-white color that lowers the brightness of the screen, cuts down the glare, and improves contrast and readability.
