WhatsApp is reportedly working on the much-awaited dark mode feature for its Android app.

According to a tweet posted by WABetaInfo, a user has also created a "concept theme" for the same purpose.

There are several advantages of using a dark theme in apps. The feature will help reduce strain on user's eyes while using WhatsApp at night or in low-light conditions. Dark mode may also help save battery life while messaging on the app.

However, the report does not mention the exact timeline for the dark mode to roll-out to WhatsApp. Popular social media platforms like Twitter, YouTube also rolled out dark mode in its app which makes things more enticing for users.

WhatsApp is also working on the Swipe to Reply feature in the Android app. The new feature will let WhatsApp users quickly reply to a message using a swipe right gesture, the report added.
