Here's how you can get started with dark mode on WhatsApp for Android.

How to enable dark mode in WhatsApp for Android

Dark mode is rolling out to all WhatsApp users around the globe. Even better, enabling it is very simple. Here's what you need to do

• Open WhatsApp from the app drawer or home screen.
• Tap the action overflow menu (three vertical dots in the top right corner).
• Hit Settings.
• Select Chats.
• Choose Themes.
• In the Choose Theme dialog box, select Dark.
• You should see the interface switch to a dark 
• theme.

• That's it! You should now have a dark mode set up for the messaging service. Dark mode looks particularly good on WhatsApp because of the green accents that are present throughout the interface, and they bring a bit of visual flair to the app.

• I've had dark mode enabled for over a week now, and it makes a huge difference in how you use the service. It's easier on the eyes, and if you have an Android phone and set dark mode system-wide, there's better visual consistency.
