WhatsApp has rolled out new beta update for Android with some additions to its Dark Mode. The new version on Google Play Beta programme includes solid colours for WhatsApp Dark Mode. The much-awaited Dark Mode was rolled out for WhatsApp beta last month and now the feature is getting constant updates.

WhatsApp has added Dark Solid Colours to its Dark Mode in the latest beta update 2.20.31, according to a report by WABetaInfo. The Dark Solid Colours include black, dark purple, dark velvet, dark brown, dark navy and dark olive. The feature can be accessed via Wallpaper Settings.

If users change the theme from Dark Mode to Light while a Dark Solid Colour is active, WhatsApp will automatically change the colour to a light one. Notably, WhatsApp has removed the Set by battery Saver option to configure the theme on Android 9 and below.
