It's been more than 50 days since the lockdown was announced in India and most other global regions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, most of the people are confined to homes to curb the spread of the Coronavirus.
By now, corporate employees working from home will be accustomed to the WhatsApp Web to communicate with colleagues, but long hours of working in front of the screen strain the eyes. Most of them are praying WhatsApp to bring the dark mode to the web, similar to the mobile app version.
Reports are coming that the company is testing the dark mode for the web version soon. But, not sure when it will be introduced to the public.
However, if patience is not your strong suit, there is a workaround technique that can bring the dark mode to the WhatsApp Web version now so that, it can bring the visually appealing interface to the eyes and also drains less battery of the PC.
