San Francisco: WhatsApp’s long-awaited dark mode feature is finally ready for release and reportedly some of its users have already tested it.
###
The Facebook-owned messaging app has been teasing the dark theme for months and is yet to announce a release date, independent.co.uk reported on Tuesday.
###
Website WaBetaInfo, which follows developments with the beta version of the app, has also revealed that the dark theme update is ready for the Android version of WhatsApp.
###
Additionally, the iOS dark theme is also nearly set for release.
###
WhatsApp is also testing a new beta update for iOS users which would bring features like hide muted status update, splash screen and app badge improvements, among others.
###
WhatsApp’s new splash screen would essentially let users see the WhatsApp logo whenever they open the app on their iPhones. This is also available on the Android beta app.
###
Last week, WhatsApp added a new privacy setting, which will let users decide whether they want to join a group on the messaging platform or not.
###
To enable it, users need to go to “Settings” in the app, then tap Account, Privacy and Groups and select one of three options: “Everyone,” “My Contacts,” or “My Contacts Except”.
