WhatsApp has officially launched the dark mode. This new version is available for both iOS and Android. The new dark shade has a more minimalist design, with black and gray tones. Not only does it provide an aesthetic touch, but it also helps the eyes, since it does not dazzle. In addition to allowing us to save a little more battery on those mobiles with OLED panels. If you want to update the app to have dark mode, here we will tell you how. However, you better think twice: the application is presenting some bugs.
Several users have reported various bugs on Twitter after updating WhatsApp to version 2.20.30, which is the one that incorporates dark mode. And it seems that in iOS the black tones are not implemented correctly. The chat bubbles should have a dark green tone with white text if we have written the chat, and a grayish color with white letters when they reply to us. The screenshot posted by @MerakiLumos on Twitter reveals how the chat bubbles are a bright green with white text. However, the rest of the interface seems to have dark mode.

It seems that this bug also affects other parts of the interface, such as the startup logo. It is somewhat strange considering that WhatsApp launched a beta version that lasted for a few weeks.The developer company of WhatsApp has not yet commented on the matter, but it is likely that they will release a small update to fix this bug.
Is it convenient to update WhatsApp to have the dark mode? I personally have updated the app and I have not had any problems. If you update you will be able to use the app normally, although in the event that you have this bug you will not be able to activate the dark mode until it is resolved. At the moment no new cases have been reported, but we will be attentive to future developments.
