Last week Facebook WhatsApp surprised millions of Android smartphone users as it rolled out its much-anticipated ‘Dark Mode’ in the beta version. Since the feature is limited to WhatsApp beta version, understandably, not everyone would have received it.
So this is how you can still get the new WhatsApp look:
Step 1: Open the app and tap on the three-dot action overflow menu button at the top right corner.
Step 2: In the action overflow menu, tap on the ‘Settings’ option.
Step 3: Under Settings, tap on ‘Chats’.

Step 4: Select ‘Themes’.
Step 5: In the ‘Choose Theme’ dialogue box, select Dark.
Step 6: That it. As soon as you select the option, you will see the new interface.
Dark Mode on WhatsApp Android app is still not in its final version as it is limited to the beta version. It may take a few days or even weeks before it reaches the public channel. There is also no word when this will reach the iOS app version.
In case you are using the beta version of WhatsApp on a smartphone running Android 10, you can even enable the Dark Mode by changing the ‘System Default’ mode.
This is to note that users with Android Pie and below will see a “Battery Saver” option wherein dark mode kicks in when the phone battery is low.
