How to set up dark mode in WhatsApp on iPhone - in detail?

To enable Dark Mode for WhatsApp on your iPhone, follow these detailed steps:

  1. Update Your Devices: Ensure both your iPhone and WhatsApp are running the latest software versions. Apple's iOS supports system-wide dark mode starting from iOS 13, while WhatsApp requires an update to support this feature effectively.

  2. Enable System-Wide Dark Mode:

    • Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
    • Navigate to Display & Brightness.
    • Under the 'Appearance' section, select Dark. This will enable dark mode across all supported apps on your device.
  3. Verify WhatsApp Dark Mode:

    • Open WhatsApp after enabling system-wide dark mode.
    • You should see that the interface has switched to a darker theme if WhatsApp supports it natively, which is typically the case with recent updates.
  4. Customize Your Theme (Optional):

    • If you prefer a different appearance for WhatsApp specifically, you can use the app's built-in themes or third-party apps that offer customization options. However, these may not always align perfectly with the system settings and might require additional steps.
  5. Check Individual Chat Settings:

    • Open WhatsApp.
    • Go to a specific chat.
    • Tap on the contact name or group info at the top of the screen.
    • Scroll down to find Wallpaper & Sound settings. While this won't change the overall dark mode setting, it allows you to customize the background of individual chats for a more personalized experience.

By following these steps, you can enjoy WhatsApp in Dark Mode on your iPhone, which not only enhances visual comfort but also contributes to battery life by reducing the amount of light emitted from the screen.
