How to enable dark mode in WhatsApp on iPhone 11 - in detail?

To enable dark mode in WhatsApp on an iPhone 11, follow these detailed steps:

Firstly, ensure that your iPhone is updated to iOS 13 or later, as dark mode functionality requires this version. If you haven't updated yet, go to Settings > General > Software Update and follow the prompts.

Once your device is up-to-date, proceed with these steps:

  1. Enable System-Wide Dark Mode:

    • Open the Settings app on your iPhone 11.
    • Tap on "Display & Brightness".
    • Under the "Appearance" section, you will see two options: Light and Dark. Tap on "Dark" to enable system-wide dark mode. This setting will apply to all compatible apps, including WhatsApp.
  2. Customize Dark Mode Settings (Optional):

    • While still in the Display & Brightness settings, you can choose to schedule dark mode to turn on automatically at sunset or at a specific time. To do this, tap on "Automatic" and select your preferred option.
  3. Verify Dark Mode in WhatsApp:

    • Open WhatsApp. If dark mode is enabled correctly, the background will be dark, and text colors will be adjusted accordingly for better visibility in low-light conditions.
  4. Manual Toggle (if needed):

    • In some cases, you might want to manually toggle dark mode on or off without changing the system settings. Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not currently support a manual dark mode toggle within the app itself. However, you can quickly switch between light and dark modes using Control Center:
      • Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center.
      • Press and hold the brightness slider. This will reveal additional controls, including the ability to toggle between Light and Dark modes.

By following these steps, you can easily enable dark mode in WhatsApp on your iPhone 11, enhancing both the aesthetics and usability of the app in various lighting conditions.
