As for iPhone, the dark mode feature is not clearly available but there are alternatives available that can be enabled directly through your smartphone’s settings.

We have made sure not to make the steps too confusing or difficult for you to follow that is why we have even added the relevant images for easy and quick understanding.

Inverting Colors on WhatsApp

You cannot exactly call this feature the already so popular ‘Dark Mode’ but in iPhones, it has been listed as a ‘Smart Invert’ feature. As per the name of this mode in iPhone, it conveys that it could possibly be only changing and updating the interface to one with inverted colors. Reversing colors, it is a unique feature and many Android smartphones do not have one yet so it surely is an upgrade by Apple. However, it is not the conventional dark mode that you had been hoping for but at least it is something.

Since we had already mentioned that it is not an actual Dark Mode On Whatsapp iPhone but simply the colors are inverted to darken the background, the basic steps are as follows.

• First, go to the Settings app on your iPhone and the rest shall follow later on.

• The next step is to tap on General and a different page called Accessibility will be opened. In the Accessibility option, you will clearly see each step for enabling the Smart Invert feature for your iPhone’s interface.

• Now once the Accessibility Window is open, you will see the Display Accommodations right underneath Magnifier. These display settings are already enabled but you have to make some slight changes to it. Now tap Invert Colors and see the magic unfold in front of your eyes.

• Under the Invert Colors options, you will notice Smart Invert. Tap on it and the system will enable it itself in a matter of seconds. Once enabled, you will notice your entire iPhone change into a blackened yet color inverted mode.

The Verdict

Note that this is not the original dark mode as this feature is yet to come to the latest iPhone update. Many iPhone users and avid fans have deemed it as a dark mode but in actuality, it is not a dark mode. It is simply a mode where you invert the colors of your iPhone’s interface. That, in turn, changes the UI of the WhatsApp app as well. If you clearly notice, you will see how the background turns into a jet black color but the colors are merely inverted.

Especially if you observe the emoji, the color of all the emoji turns into a negative film and is colored as a sharp navy blue and white. This just suggests that the actual dark mode, if Apple brings it to the iPhone, is going to be a lot different than simply inverting the colors. Apple users are avidly waiting for the company to introduce this feature in both iPhones and iPad but let’s see how they go about with the release of a dark mode for IOS.

Additionally, iPad has the same options for enabling the invert colors so you can just go to the Settings app of your iPad and repeat the same steps as we have mentioned for the iPhone.
