After adding Windows 11 design elements to the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) beta build of its app, WhatsApp has now enabled the support for the dark theme on WhatsApp Beta UWP. The new version of the WhatsApp Beta UWP, other than adding support for the dark theme, brings many other minor changes. Let’s look at the details.
According to a recent report by reputable WhatsApp features-tracker WABetaInfo, dark theme support comes with the latest version of the WhatsApp Beta UWP app (v2.2205.2.0). The Meta-owned messaging giant added the support for dark mode on Android and iOS apps back in 2020. Now, although it might take some time for the feature to reach the stable version on Windows, you can check out a preview below to see how the dark theme looks.
So, as you can see, if you set a dark theme on Windows, the WhatsApp Beta UWP app automatically sets a dark theme for itself. Additionally, you can manually choose a light or a dark theme from the app’s general settings. However, when you manually set a theme on the app, you will need to restart it to apply the changes.
