by

WhatsApp web Dark mode which is only available on the mobile app is now Available on WhatsApp web and WhatsApp desktop app. If you are using the WhatsApp web UI or the Desktop app, the new WhatsApp web Dark mode is now available and you can now switch to the theme from light theme to dark theme.

However, if you have been using a trick in Chrome browser to turn the WhatsApp web light theme to dark theme, you no longer need to use it as you can now easily switch to the dark theme on WhatsApp web.

The new WhatsApp web and WhatsApp desktop version also come with additional features such as WhatsApp stickers and QR codes.  So, since the Dark WhatsApp theme is available officially you should follow the simple path to enable it to reduce the brightness of your screen while chatting at night.

Note: WhatsApp web dark theme option is a new feature. Therefore, the dark theme is not available on the old WhatsApp desktop app. I will advise you to download the latest WhatsApp desktop app or update the existing one.
