WhatsApp beta for Android 2.19.82: what’s new?

WhatsApp has recently submitted a new update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version up to 2.19.82.
Let’s find out together what is new ..

• The Dark Mode feature is not available yet.
• WhatsApp is working on this feature in this update in order to ensure the best bug-free experience for you before to enable them for everyone.
• For this reason, it’s ok if you have updated your WhatsApp version and it is not working for you seen that this feature is under development.

Now the audio file name should appear in the audio bubble:

This feature is enabled by default.

We are happy to be the first to announce that WhatsApp has finally started to work on the Dark Mode for Android!
We found the first hidden tracks in the 2.19.82 update: nevertheless, the feature is not available yet for everyone.
We gave you a sneak peek for the iOS Dark Mode, and we are ready to publish some screenshots to show how the Dark Mode looks!
In the 2.19.47 beta update, WhatsApp has redesigned all Settings. There was a reason why they did so: to make Settings compatible with the new Dark Mode.
Actually, WhatsApp has implemented the Dark Mode (under development and not available yet!) in Settings only. Let’s see how it is!

If you compare these screenshots from WhatsApp for Android with the iOS Dark Mode, you can understand that it won’t be OLED friendly but it’s based on a very dark grey color.
As we wrote previously, the Dark Mode is not available yet and a release date is unknown: I suppose it will take time because the Dark Mode is not ready yet and it needs a lot of development.
We will obviously inform you when WhatsApp rolls out the feature.
