WhatsApp Dark Mode for desktop will soon be a reality; here is how it will work

WhatsApp users are set to get a new feature! The Facebook-owned platform is reportedly working towards bringing the popular Dark Mode to the desktop version of the app. The dark mode is already available for Android and iOS beta testers. The feature has been in works for a long time now and has been spotted in the testing phase before. Now according to a report by WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will soon start rolling out the dark mode feature for the desktop version as well.

"The dark theme was recently released for WhatsApp beta for Android 2.20.13+ and WhatsApp beta for iOS 2.20.30.25. But… what's missing now? WhatsApp Web and Desktop!" WABetaInfo said on Tuesday.  The messaging platform is working on the feature in the recent few updates, in order to ensure the best bug-free experience is handed out to the users.

"...They are still working to implement the dark theme correctly. In fact, the background colour for emojis isn't transparent but it's still white. The development team still needs to tweak a bit the UI, but it already looks amazing and they already reached great results!", WABetaInfo added.

In a separate development, WhatsApp has partnered with Bharti AXA General Insurance which will allow the later to start delivering policies and renewal premium to its customers through the messaging platform. The company plans to sell private car, two-wheeler and travel insurance through a WhatsApp chatbot soon, the insurer said in a statement.

The company is the first among non-life insurers in India to introduce the entire bouquet of service initiatives such as policy documents, renewal notices and intimation for its customers by using WhatsApp chatbot.
