How to enable WhatsApp Dark Mode : Here are some easy steps

WhatsApp is undoubtedly the most popular messaging app around the world right now and is currently being used by people to stay connected with their loved ones during the lockdown. In fact, apart from smartphones, a lot of users are now depending on the desktop version of the app to easily access messages during work. 

To make the platform more convenient for these users, WhatsApp is currently working on a Dark Theme. The feature was already launched for the mobile application and can soon make its way to the web version of the app too. WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo said that the feature is under development but they have found a way by which WhatsApp users can enable the dark theme on the web interface.

“We have published an article about the development of the Dark Theme on WhatsApp Web. The feature is still under development, but today we’re ready to provide a way to enable it before the official release,” WABetaInfo wrote on its page on Saturday.
