WhatsApp is introducing a night mode for its in-app camera interface, aimed at improving image quality in low-light environments, the messaging platform’s latest beta update has revealed. According to WABetaInfo, a reliable source for WhatsApp-related developments, the feature is currently available to selected Android beta testers and is expected to roll out to a wider user base in the coming weeks via the Google Play Store. The new functionality includes a moon-shaped button, positioned at the top of the in-app camera screen, which becomes visible when the app detects dim lighting conditions. Once activated by the user, the mode enhances photo clarity and brightness using software-based adjustments — such as boosting exposure and reducing image noise — without adding artificial filters. Unlike some smartphone camera apps that automatically switch to night mode, WhatsApp’s version must be manually enabled, allowing users to decide when it is appropriate to use, especially in indoor or nighttime scenarios. While the tool improves overall image quality in dark settings, it is not expected to deliver significant changes in extremely low-light conditions, where visibility is minimal.
