WhatsApp’s dark theme works in tandem with your iOS system settings. This means, once you enable Dark Mode on your iOS device, WhatsApp will automatically switch to the dark theme. Additionally, you need to make sure you’ve updated WhatsApp to take advantage of this feature. So, simply follow the steps below.

  1. Open the “Settings” app from the home screen of your iPhone or iPad.

5. Now, simply open up WhatsApp and you’ll notice the dark theme right away, as shown below.

There you go. It’s that easy to set up and use Dark Mode in WhatsApp on your iPhone.

The dark mode that’s available on the iOS version of WhatsApp is more like a pure black theme and looks quite different from what’s offered on Android devices.

If you’ve set your iOS device to switch between light and dark modes automatically depending on the time of the day, your WhatsApp theme will switch between both modes accordingly. Unfortunately, there’s no manual setting within the application to switch between light and dark modes, unlike Android.

If you use WhatsApp as your primary messaging application on your iPhone with an OLED display, switching to the Dark Mode will help you save some battery life. This is due to the fact that an OLED screen turns the individual pixels off entirely to display the black color, thereby saving energy in the process.
