Munich - Dark times dawn for users of Apple devices on WhatsApp - and literally: Dark Mode for iOS , the mobile operating system developed by Apple , is finally here. While websites such as Twitter and YouTube have long offered that users can activate this feature themselves if required, WhatApp has meanwhile also been added - so far, however, it was only usable if you had an Android-compatible device. But that is changing now: Even those who are Apple fans can finally activate the popular function on their smartphone . The dark mode , also called dark or night mode, is a color scheme in which the colors are displayed in reverse to the norm. Instead of black writing on a white background, the following applies to dark mode: dark background, light text.

WhatsApp offers new functionality for Apple devices

Saving the battery, protecting the eyes or simply a great new design - the arguments why you need this new form of presentation on smartphones, tablets or the computer are versatile. If you want to enjoy dark mode with your Apple device in the future, you only need to download the beta version 2.20.30 of the messenger from the Apple TesFlight app. Then the users can choose between the design options "Light" and "Dark" in the settings. Activation is therefore similar to that of Android devices . Here, too, users have to download the latest update 2.20.13 beta - then the feature can be activated via the settings.

Android users are already familiar with the new WhatsApp feature

However, there is one small thing to consider and chip.de warns to make sure that a limited number of users are only activated for the beta for a certain period of time. But the technology magazine is confident that the dark mode in the final version of the messenger will soon be accessible to all WhatsApp users .
