Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

The dark mode of WhatsApp is expected to appear soon, and we have managed to collect some tips and previews to show what it will look like when it arrives. In fact, the latest developments suggest that applications will receive two different dark patterns instead of one.

Since the launch of Android 10 and iOS 13, both features have their own system-wide dark mode, so developers have been eager to create dark versions of their apps. Google browser, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter all have smart dark options available, but so far, WhatsApp still looks pale and interesting. However, all this seems likely to change.

If you want to be the first person to try dark mode after the launch of WhatsApp, we recommend that you join the Beta program so that you can test it on a global scale. If you are using an Android device, you can register to download the beta version through the Google Play Store.

The iOS beta is currently full, but can be reopened at any time. If so, you need to install TestFlight on your device and then register to join the program.

What do you expect?

According to WABetaInfo, which specializes in analyzing the beta version of WhatsApp, the app's developers are currently working in two different dark modes and optimizing the new design before it is released.

As you explore WhatsApp Beta's installation files, you'll find a variety of assets labeled "Night Mode", including these new black and dark blue-green message bubbles.

Even if you are a member of the Beta program, you will not see the option to activate dark mode, but by dragging the application's APK file, you can find a variety of graphics resources that will be used when the version is finally released.

At first it seems that the new color matching is mainly dark blue / green, not black or gray. If you select the phone's system-wide dark mode, it will be activated automatically. The app's startup screen is also expected to dim, avoiding some application problems where people using dark mode are spooked by unexpected white light.

But it seems that the designer has changed his strategy a little bit and is now developing two different dark patterns: one is a dark gray background and the other is black.

The black version may be optimized specifically for AMOLED screens. The black pixels on these screens are actually turned off, which will use less power (at least in theory).

WhatsApp's sticker and emoji menu have been updated to a dark background, and developers have been trying to adapt the application's signature prompt box with a new look, which will be used in two dark modes.

We can also see some other new features appear with these two dark modes, including self-destruct messages, which will be deleted after a period of time. From the leaked screenshot, it seems that the message can be set to be deleted in five minutes to an hour.

Rival messaging applications Facebook Messenger, Telegram, and Signal already provide similar functionality, so they are out of date.

The beta also shows a new option that allows you to completely hide updates for silent contacts. Currently, if you mute the contact, its update will be grayed out but still visible. When new updates are released, you will be able to hide them completely and see them only when you select them.

When it comes.

We don't know yet; WhatsApp developers seem to be in no hurry to complete and release the dark mode of the application, nor do they say when this option will be available.

When WhatsApp finally accepts the Dark Transformation, we will provide a complete explanation of how to activate it and start messaging in a style.

Other ways to extend battery life in WhatsApp.

One of the main reasons you might want to try WhatsApp dark mode is to extend battery life, but there are other ways to save power for your application before setting it up to be available.

Enter the application settings, select chat and click the wallpaper, then select a monochrome and choose a color darker than the standard light gray background. This does not change the color of message bubbles, menus and other interface elements, but Google's study found that black pixels consume much less energy than other colors.

It is different from the actual dark mode, but switching to black wallpaper when using WhatsApp can help save battery life.

By default, WhatsApp downloads a large number of files in the background, which actually drains the phone's power, so you can save power by turning on the WhatsApp settings and selecting data and Storage usage.

Here you can choose when to download media (when to use mobile data, when to connect to Wi-Fi, and when to roam). If you turn it off, the videos and images sent in the message will only be downloaded when you click them.

Activating the phone's own power-saving mode is another way to make the phone last longer between charges. Depending on the setting you choose, this may reduce the screen brightness, stop sending and receiving data while the application is running in the background, and limit the speed of CPU. Whether you are willing to extend the performance to extend the battery life depends on you.
