The dark mode in any application is met with mixed feelings: some like and some don’t. I am the former of those two and have it enabled on both mobile and web ever since its launch. The dark mode is soothing to the eyes and is much better than the hard blue light that puts strain on the eyes. It is a simple method to enable or disable WhatsApp in dark mode.

How to set the dark mode in WhatsApp?
