New WhatsApp dark mode wallpaper suggests launch may be imminent

Dark mode for WhatsApp has been a long time coming, but assets discovered in the latest Android beta suggest it might be arriving on our phones very soon.

It's not possible to enable dark mode in the beta yet, but WABetaInfo has discovered a new dark wallpaper in the install files for WhatsApp Beta 2.19.327, which is likely to be one of the final assets necessary before it's ready for testing and release.

The wallpaper features the same background pattern as the app's current light gray background, but in a new color scheme.

We've already seen a dark teal wallpaper hidden in WhatsApp's install files, but the new one is almost black, which supports the theory that the app will have not one, but two dark modes.
