WhatsApp has finally announced the WhatsApp Dark mode feature for both Android and iOS users. The WhatsApp Dark mode feature lets users choose from light or dark theme in WhatsApp. Once, you enable it your chats will appear with dark background and messages will be appearing in green bubbles. However, the dark theme is more like dark gray unlike pure black available in some apps.
WhatsApp said that they have focused on two particular areas when designing dark mode it spent time researching and experimenting
- Readability: When choosing colors, we wanted to minimize eye fatigue and use colors that are closer to the system defaults on iPhone and Android respectively.
- Information Hierarchy: We wanted to help users easily focus their attention on each screen. We did this by using color and other design elements to make sure the most important information stands out.
