WhatsApp is expected to launch the 'Dark Mode' feature in the next few months, and according to recent reports, WhatsApp's thinking will change by making this feature automatically work in the dark to keep users' eyes and reduce battery consumption.
The Dark Mode feature turns the screen colors dark to make messaging in the dark, and developers hope the change - which the user will have the option to turn off - will reduce the strain on your eyes after spending a lot of time on the screen. You have the option to connect it to your phone's battery saving mode, according to Wapita Info reports.
Dark mode will automatically turn on when Battery Saver is activated. On most phones, the power saving mode is on when your power is below a certain percentage, or if you turn it on manually.
This will help conserve the battery, as this means that fewer screen pixels are turned on when using the app in dark mode.
It is not clear when the long-awaited feature will be launched, as the new feature is expected to improve the user experience and reduce battery consumption.
It is important to note that the newly found power saving option will only work if your phone has an OLED display.
As with any new feature under test, we cannot fully confirm that WhatsApp will launch this service or just a feature under test, especially since WhatsApp declined to comment on the Wapita Info website report regarding the feature.
Based on previous beta launches, it is believed that the dark situation will be rolled out to users around the world sometime in the next few months.
Other social media apps have their own versions of Dark Mode including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
