In an exclusive update for iOS users, WhatsApp has added long-awaited feature - Dark mode. Other features include background blur effect and the Advance Search mode. The iPhone users will be required to update their WhatsApp messenger to v2.20.30.25 beta version. Users can also access these features if they are members of Apple's TestFlight beta testing programme.

In the previous iOS update, the feature was reportedly available to limited users which is not the case in the latest update where Dark Mode is now widely available. With a redesigned WhatsApp logo, the app will now roll with a dark theme where users will witness dark bubbles, dark chat lists and much more.

The chat wallpapers have a list of solid colours available for selection. The latest update also has a background blur effect and an advanced search mode. However, some of these WhatsApp beta features are already available for Android.

According to Wabetainfo, "The Dark Theme will be released for stable versions later." The dark mode will not be available for devices which are running versions earlier than iOS 13 which also means that the user will require an iPhone 6s or better to use Dark mode on WhatsApp.
