WhatsApp has updated its android beta app to version 2.19.82, and the app teardown reveals that the company is finally making some headway with Dark Mode.
This anticipated feature has cropped up quite a few times within the past, and this latest update gives U.S. a primary verify Dark Mode, hinting at an imminent launch soon.
The feature is under development and is not enabled for everyone as of yet. Recent beta versions also indicate that WhatsApp is working new forwarding options as well. there’s no word on once the WhatsApp Dark Mode can create its way to the stable version.
WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo found traces of the Dark Mode within the 2.19.82 beta update and has published screenshots of it also.
The tipster notes that WhatsApp has implemented the Dark Mode in Settings only, and the screenshots show the new mode applied in notifications settings, data and storage settings, chats settings, and even account settings.
The tipster also notes that Dark Mode on android “won’t be OLED friendly but it’s based on a really dark grey color.” As mentioned, it hasn’t been enabled as of yet i.e.,
it’s disabled by default, thus you won’t probably see the feature, even if you have updated to the latest 2.19.82 version of android. Dark Mode has been a work in progress since last year.
In WhatsApp for android version 2.19.80, two new features called Forwarding data and frequently Forwarded, were spotted within the works.
Forwarding info can enable users to get additional details about a forwarded message. it’ll let the user know how many times the message has been forwarded. frequently Forwarded, on the other hand, may be a label which will show up if one message has been forwarded more than four times.
