As per the concept image, the name Dark mode tallies with the background as has been shown in the chat window. The background of the chat window is turned dark while the chat, names, WhatsApp icons are all in white.

Other than just the looks, ,Dark Mode will reduce the strain on the eyes for those who use the app in the dark or at night time. This feature will be rolled out for both Android and iOS.

Google has finally confirmed that dark mode on Android phones uses less power and saves battery life. Dark mode essentially changes the overall colour theme of an operating system (OS) or applications to the colour black.

At a presentation in November last year, the Internet giant added how dark mode can use 43 percent less power at full brightness than "normal mode" in the YouTube app which traditionally uses a lot of white.
