WhatsApp: Dark Mode is coming in an update for iPhone and Android

As already mentioned, the Dark Mode for WhatsApp will actually be included in an update of the Messenger. However, users should be careful with the WhatsApp message that promises dark mode. Because: If you click on the link in the WhatsApp message, you will be redirected to a dubious page. There the WhatsApp users should indicate which operating system is installed on the smartphone.

The message should then be sent to 20 contacts or groups. Anyone who shares the WhatsApp message suddenly ends up on competition pages. Or on websites where you run the risk of falling into a subscription trap. According to "mimikama", it cannot be ruled out that the sites may install malware or malware on the smartphone.
