Despite being merely aesthetic adjustments, there is a noticeable difference between dark and light modes. WhatsApp, one of the greatest messaging apps for Android, saw major updates in December. A revised dark mode color scheme for its Android app was one of the most recent updates. Regretfully, WhatsApp Web did not undergo a redesign at that time, but this may soon change.
WhatsApp began testing status update sharing via the web client just this past week, but Meta developers have been working on other features as well. WhatsApp is experimenting with an updated color scheme for WhatsApp Web in addition to sharing status updates. WhatsApp is actively developing a new dark theme for its web client, as WABetaInfo first revealed. For those who, like me, enjoy dark themes, this is wonderful news. The web client’s color scheme will be adjusted to more closely resemble the WhatsApp Android app thanks to the dark theme color tweak.
Not too long after the Android app went dark, WhatsApp Web also received a color scheme update. Users are accustomed to a unified appearance across all platforms, so this new design is not shocking. Regretfully, the new dark theme for the web client is still in development and not yet widely accessible. WhatsApp made the decision to change the gray background from color hex code #111b20 to #12181c, which is a slight but noticeable change. The new color scheme is a little bit darker and will be more visually friendly for extended WhatsApp binges.
An enhanced sidebar complements the visual redesign of the web client. Developers at Meta are hard at work creating a redesigned sidebar to go along with the new WhatsApp dark mode, according to WABetaInfo. The majority of new features are now being added to both the Android app and the web client due to WhatsApp Web’s increasing popularity. For users who lack access to or prefer not to use a native WhatsApp client, the web version provides a flexible alternative as it can function on any system that has a browser.
A better sidebar integrates with the visual redesign of the web client. WABetaInfo reports that Meta developers are working diligently to create a redesigned sidebar to go along with the recently introduced WhatsApp dark mode. Most new features are now being added to both the web client and the Android app of WhatsApp due to its increasing popularity. For users who lack access to a native WhatsApp client or prefer not to use one, the web version presents a flexible alternative because it can function on any platform with a browser.
Exciting updates to WhatsApp were released in December, such as the ability to search for users by username and the addition of pinned messages. WhatsApp is not known to sit back and take it all too seriously, even though it is the biggest messaging app globally. The platform is always testing and updating new features to enhance the user experience. These objectives are supported by a redesigned dark theme for its web client that matches the Android app. Once more, the darker theme is still under development and will hopefully be made available to the web client in a later release.
