"When designing dark mode, we spent time researching and experimenting with a focus on two particular areas: Readability and information hierarchy. "When choosing colours, we wanted to minimise eye fatigue and use colours that are closer to the system defaults on iPhone and Android, respectively," said WhatsApp. "We also wanted to help users easily focus their attention on each screen. We did this by using colour and other design elements to make sure the most important information stands out," it added.
