Looking back at the past three years, the most noticeable change in smartphones is the inclusion of dark mode. Apple has also added this feature to its products, which is a wise decision as it reduces strain on the eyes while using the phone. The dark mode color is not black but rather a deep greyish hue.
Google’s popular apps like Chrome, Pay, Keep, and Photos have not yet been updated to include this dark mode. WhatsApp’s Amoled Black theme inspires the deep tones in these apps. Amoled screens have gained popularity because they protect our health, so users eagerly seek out this dark mode. Let’s explore and discuss its importance further.
How to Install Dark-Mode WhatsApp on Any Android Device
You can get Amoled Black WhatsApp on your Android device using various apps available on the Google Play Store. However, the most suitable option is the “Swift Installer App.” This app offers customization options such as accents, colors, and other adjustments that are not available in other apps. Additionally, some free alternatives may cause battery drain issues and need more quality.
