Instant messaging service WhatsApp is testing dark mode in its latest beta release. Android Police, which sighted the feature, reports that it allows users to choose between three themes: Dark, Light and System Default. Android Police says the dark mode is more of a "paint job" that is easier on the eyes and is not a true-black tone. True-black tones not only look darker but also help reduce power consumption on OLED screens. The feature is available for beta users on version 2.20.13.
