Take a Look at WhatsApp's Much-Awaited Dark Mode

Take a Look at WhatsApp's Much-Awaited Dark Mode
By Techtonic group

Facebook is moving to the dark side - not because of its recent privacy mishaps. Well, we mean it's working to implement a 'dark mode' in all of its services. Instagram is testing a dark mode in beta (find steps to enable it here) and we already know that both Facebook and its popular messaging service WhatsApp is working on a dark theme of its own.
Well, thanks to well-known WhatsApp tipster WABetaInfo, we've got our first look at dark mode for WhatsApp. It's a moment to rejoice, but some of you may not be satisfied with this dark theme.

As you can see in the screenshots above, WhatsApp isn't assuming a true AMOLED dark theme as we've seen with Facebook Messenger and Instagram. Instead, it uses a "blue night" theme similar to Twitter. In its blog post, WABetaInfo details that WhatsApp will add a new "Theme" section in the Settings, where you will find 3 options - light, dark or system default (which means WhatsApp theme will depend on the UI theme, especially useful for Android 10 users as it supports system-wide dark mode).
You can see how everything in the chat window is going to look when the dark mode is enabled in the image attached below. Every element of the messaging app will assume night colors, including the header, textbox, attachment options, and more. This feature doesn't seem to be in the early stages as the text is aligned and colors are accurate, so maybe it arrives sooner than expected.
If you're looking to enable this feature, well, dark mode for WhatsApp is currently under development with no exact date for its expected rollout. The messaging giant has been working on this feature for some time now, so stay tuned for more information. We will surely let you know when it goes live.

Apple Slams Tile After Being Accused of Violating EU Antitrust Laws

Apple Slams Tile After Being Accused of Violating EU Antitrust Laws By Techtonic group In a move that could further compound Apple's regulatory problems in Europe, the company is now facing allegations of monopolistic trade practices from fellow Silicon Valley tech firm,  Tile . In a letter sent to European competition commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, this week, Tile said that Apple was making it difficult for users to use its product with iPhones. According to the complaint, the Cupertino giant is favoring its own 'FindMy' application in violation of the region's antitrust regulations by selectively disabling features of the Tile tracking app. Apple's actions, the complaint alleges, are aimed at preventing the Tile app from working seamlessly with iPhones and iPads. The allegations come at a time when Apple is expected to launch  its own Tile-like tracking devices , expected to be called  Apple Tags . According to Tile's lawyer, Kirsten Daru, the ...
