WhatsApp Extends Dark Mode to Desktop
The dark mode feature that was introduced by WhatsApp on its mobile apps in March now extends to WhatsApp for Web and desktop apps. In March, WhatsApp said that the dark mode was among the most requested features from its users. The company is said to have focused on two key areas of dark mode including readability and information hierarchy. WhatsApp said that the company wanted to aid users “easily focus their attention on each screen” by using colors and “other design elements “to make sure the most important information stands out.”
Meanwhile, WhatsApp said that the company is rolling out new animated sticker packs “that are even more fun and expressive.”
“Stickers are one of the fastest growing ways people communicate on WhatsApp, with billions sent every day,” WhatsApp said in a release on Wednesday.
WhatsApp Makes it Easier to Add New Contacts
With the QR Codes, the company said that users will be able to add new users to the contact list by scanning QR codes. The company said that the users will no longer have to tap in the numbers to add people to the contact list.
