- Tips: How to 'activate' the dark mode in WhatsApp or switch to a colorful background
- Apps.All maybe you didn't know what can be done with WhatsApp
The expected dark mode is finally available in the WhatsApp beta, so it shouldn't take long to reach all users in the next updates. The application thus joins others such as Twitter, Facebook (its owner) or its rival Telegram and incorporates a function that helps save battery.
At the moment it is not easy to access the WhatsApp beta tester program, since the company does not support new users. What is possible is to download the APK file and install the beta.
This option, however, is not entirely recommended because it is a non-final version of the application (that is, it may fail ). In addition, it involves installing a program from outside Google Play, which can compromise the security of the device.
In any case, everything seems to work as seen in previous betas and leaks. To activate the dark mode, once the application is updated to the first version that includes this function, you must go to Settings, enter Chats and select Theme.
This will activate a dark mode that, curiously, is somewhat lighter than expected, with a tone closer to gray or blue than black.
Those who can not wait and at the same time do not want to install the beta can resort to a trick to activate the dark mode manually and unofficially when changing the color of the background.
On the other hand, WABetaInfo has given more details of two other highly anticipated functions: animated stickers (no date, although apparently very close and differentiated from static ones by an icon) and the possibility of deleting messages that, for the moment, seems quite far away in time.
