The dark mode for WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop has been discovered by the usual WABetaInfo. In the images below, you can see WhatsApp dressed in dark on a desktop platform. The screenshots show how the main screen will be, that of the chats, the sections dedicated to emojis, stickers and GIFs. From the images, you will also find that the development of the graphic interface is not yet complete.

Enabling the dark theme for WhatsApp Web and Desktop would take place through a special toggle, probably located in the Settings. At the moment we don’t know when the news will come to the public, the release of the dark theme for the Android beta app teaches that it may take some time.

WhatsApp team has decided to add support for a dark mode. Finally, the company allows our eyes to take a break from bright light in the dark. And for many owners of smartphones with AMOLED screens, this is a good help to improve battery life.
