WhatsApp's latest update for its desktop variant, version 2.2049.8, brings with itself a slew of new features and design choices. Enough to fill an article? Well, press on and let's delve into the changes. The first major change experienced in the latest update is a color palette introduction. The "dark mode" color swap that gained popularity over Android and iOS will soon be making it across PCs and Macs across the globe. Dark mode, also termed "dark green bubble swap", is an easy way for people exposed to constant screen-time to relax their eyes. The background of your WhatsApp chat interface turns black, while the light green chat bubbles running to and from are muted to a darker shade. This not only reduces intense light reaching one's eyes, but also helps one read chats better. In another addition, dark mode will now also be accessible across WhatsApp Web, the online-desktop version of everyone's favorite chatting service.
