WhatsApp Web Dark Mode: How to Enable
WhatsApp Web doesn’t officially support dark mode, but there are two ways to enable it easily. You can either enable it by using the Inspect Element option on your browser or by installing an extension. Here’s what you need to do.
-
Go to WhatsApp Web on your computer and log in via the QR code. To do this, open WhatsApp on your Android phone > tap the three-dots icon on the top-right > Settings > WhatsApp Web. On iPhone, open WhatsApp > Settings > WhatsApp Web. Now scan the code on your computer’s screen and log in.
-
Right-click the WhatsApp Web page and click Inspect Element. Now search for body class=”web”. On some browsers such as Safari for Mac, you might have to search for body class=”web text-rendering-bug-fix”.

Now change it to body class=”web dark” or body class=”web dark text-rendering-bug-fix”.

Hit Enter on the keyboard or just click anywhere else on the page to apply changes.

In case you find this too complicated, just install the Stylus addon on Firefox or Google Chrome.
