WhatsApp is introducing a new dark mode feature for its camera interface.
WhatsApp has rolled out a new night mode feature for its in-app camera, aimed at enhancing low-light photo quality. The feature, currently available to select beta testers on Android, works by manually boosting exposure and reducing noise, thereby improving clarity and brightness without the use of filters.
The night mode feature can be activated manually via a moon-shaped button that appears in dim environments. This button triggers software-based adjustments that bring out more details in shadows, making it particularly useful in indoor or nighttime settings. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of this feature may vary in extremely low-light conditions, with only subtle improvements observed in such scenarios.
The night mode feature is part of the latest WhatsApp beta for Android and is designed for situations with limited lighting. WhatsApp plans a gradual rollout over the coming weeks to more users, but a specific full rollout date has not been announced yet.
This new feature is intended to improve photo sharing convenience by eliminating the need for third-party camera apps for low-light photography within WhatsApp itself. When the moon-shaped button is tapped, it activates a mode that enhances photos taken in dim environments, making it easier to share images in chats or status updates without needing additional tools.
However, users will need to manually enable the night mode feature. The feature can be accessed through the Google Play Store. It's an exciting development for WhatsApp users, offering a more seamless and efficient way to capture and share photos in low-light settings.
The night mode feature on WhatsApp, accessible through the Google Play Store, not only caters to indoor or nighttime photography but also reduces the need for external gadgets. This technological advancement in WhatsApp encourages users to engage with their environment, sharing smartphone images even in dim environments, without requiring additional applications.
