WhatsApp latest updates: Dark mode, fresh emoji skins, delete messages and more

• The most-anticipated Dark Mode feature is still under development
• We bring to you some of the latest WhatsApp updates that were rolled out this week.

As spotted by WABetaInfo report, a blog that tracks WhatsApp developments, the Facebook-owned messaging app has dedicated time to improve the Dark Theme in the latest 2.19.366 version. There is a new Dark Mode optimization that is visible on Display option in Chat Settings.

However, all these options are still under development and it is perfectly fine if you don't see any Dark Mode related updates on your phones yet. These options are being tested on Android Beta before the release of a stable version.

To add, there is no official release date set for the Dark Mode update by WhatsApp yet, so sit tight until further announcement. Apart from that, WhatsApp is working on three options for activating the Dark Mode as spotted by the blog. The first option is the original light theme, the second option is essentially the dark theme and there is also a third option called 'Set by Battery Saver'.

New emoji skin:

WhatsApp has added new skins for 6 emojis. The emojis are ‘woman in manual wheelchair', ‘man in manual wheelchair', ‘woman in motorized wheelchair', ‘man in motorized wheelchair', ‘woman with probing cane', ‘man with probing cane'.

Self-destructing message feature:

Although currently available on Android Beta version, this update will automatically delete a message after a particular period of time as set by the user.

Once available, the 'Delete Message' feature will come with a toggle on/off button and users can choose a particular time interval for the messages to automatically disappear. There are five options for time intervals to choose from - 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 1 year. Accordingly, the messages sent to that chat will disappear. For instance, if the user opts for 1 hour time interval, the messages sent post-selection will be deleted after an hour. The feature is not a new feature in the app market.
