Night Mode is among the most awaited features that WhatsApp is currently working on. For months now, we have been hearing about the messaging platform planning to introduce a dark mode into the app, which we recently learned will be called the Night Mode.A couple of weeks ago, WhatsApp reportedly started testing the implementation of the dark theme into the app, however, it was limited to apps calls and status pages in the beta version 2.19.139. Which was also an indication that the feature was still a few changes away from rolling out to the public.[caption id="attachment_6472211" align="alignnone" width="1024"]Representational image.

This also means that the feature is stepping closer to its launch.Reportedly, in this update, the Night Mode is now also visible on the Contact Picker section, on the Contact Info page, and on Group Info section, however, the latter is still being worked on.[caption id="attachment_6672761" align="alignnone" width="1116"]Image: WaBetaInfo Image: WaBetaInfo[/caption]WhatsApp is yet to confirm the official launch of the feature, however, it is expected to be made official in the coming weeks.Separately, the next WhatsApp update will reportedly also bring as many as 155 redesigned emojis.
