WhatsApp Beta gains dark mode in latest update
WhatsApp Beta just received dark mode in its latest update. Version 2.2205.2.0 adds a stylish dark mode to the app that testers can now try out. The addition is not noted on the Microsoft Store listing for WhatsApp Beta on the Microsoft Store, but we’ve been able to enable dark mode in our testing.
Dark mode persists throughout the app, including the settings page, chat background, and title bar.
WhatsApp Beta lets people test out experimental and upcoming features for WhatsApp. For example, the app supports the new multi-device feature that lets users sync WhatsApp from multiple pieces of hardware. When using the multi-device feature, people can stay connected to WhatsApp even if their phone is offline.
As with all beta versions of applications, you may run into some performance issues or bugs when using WhatsApp Beta. If you’d like to try it out, you can grab it for free through the Microsoft Store. WhatsApp Beta is avaialble on both Windows 11 and Windows 10.
