Enable Dark Mode in WhatsApp on iPhone

Let me share the method to enable dark mode in WhatsApp on iPhone. Before proceeding next, make sure your iPhone is running on iOS 13 because this update requires the latest version of iOS on your iPhone. So, if you are using an older device then I am sorry at the very beginning for you.

If you have already installed iOS 13 on your iPhone, then there are two ways to enable dark mode. One way to do is Settings > Display & Brightness > Use Dark appearance. Or, just swipe to the Control Center and hold on the brightness bar to choose Dark Mode instantly.

Android devices are also running WhatsApp but when it comes to Dark Mode, this is only available for devices that are running Android 9 at least. So, if you are one of those then you can enable or disable dark mode anytime.

If you are using Android 10 then you can use the System-wide dark mode for WhatsApp. Just enable it from the notification center where you can find and tap on Dark Mode shortcut to enable or disable it.
