WhatsApp for iOS Now Supports Dark Mode

[MacRumors]

WhatsApp was today updated to version 2.20.30, introducing a new Dark Mode option that has been in testing for a few weeks now. According to the WhatsApp release notes, the new Dark Mode option is available whenever Dark Mode is activated on the iPhone or iPad.

Dark Mode is linked to iOS 13, which means iOS 13 is required to use Dark Mode. WhatsApp users on earlier versions of iOS will not have access to the feature.

Dark Mode is available throughout the WhatsApp app, with dark chat bubbles and a dark version of wallpaper, a dark settings section, and a dark splash screen.

Today's update also includes a new search option that allows users to filter by author and content type, making it easier to locate photos and other content.

Thank god. I hate WhatsApp's look. This will make it much more bearable.

Did I miss the release of the official WhatsApp iPad app?

Finally!!!! Great update.

Finally! But there is no iPad app.

Will the macOS app get it as well?

They also removed the original peek and pop gesture

They also implemented HapticTouch for devices without 3D Touch! 🙏🏽

Finally.

Better late than never. I’m shocked that they have found enough staffmembers to implement this gigantic change.

Finally! Looks great. I got the updated Facebook Messenger today as well, at last with a dark mode that follows the system setting.


… now, where are you, Gmail dark mode???

I hate apps that don’t include a setting and are tied to the OS one.

Finally

Don’t text often on it but still good to have

I really wanted whatsapp to have dark mode, but i have to say, for me it’s the only app that managed to look worse on dark mode, the grey and dark green colors are kind of ugly in my opinion.

The only wallpaper with light and dark mode is the default one?

Seriously one of the reasons I don’t use dark mode at all

I hate when most of my apps are dark and then I jump into one and it’s light — it’s so ugly and inconsistent looking that I avoid dark mode in part for that reason

Hmmm, Question: how do I enable dark mode?

It uses iOS setting, you can't use it "stand alone"

Wallpaper in chats is not solid black, there's also no solid black wallpaper in WA settings.

Edit: Downloaded a solid black wallpaper for Ip Xs, set it, done...

 

[hagar]

When will they support the iOS 13 share sheet?

 

[daveathall]

Doesn't work on mine. Dark mode is enabled on my iPhone 11, Whats app stays the same. Am I doing anything wrong?

First step in troubleshooting and sorry for stating the obvious. Did you download the latest update for WhatsApp.

I was confused by this too -- didn't seem to auto-update. Had to find it in the App Store.

Yes, I'm fully up to date but still no dark mode, thank you for trying though, much appreciated.
