Will Dark Mode Help You Anyway?

Researchers claim that dark mode makes app interfaces easier for the eyes in the dark environment. Additionally, Dark Mode can really improve your smartphone’s battery life if it has an OLED display. To be honest, the dark mode of WhatsApp kinda looks grey. Since it is not pitch black (#000000) even on OLED display, I don’t think so it will improve battery life.
