WhatsApp is rolling out a new night mode feature for its camera interface, currently accessible to select beta testers. This feature introduces a moon-shaped button at the top of the camera screen, which appears in low-light or dark conditions. Tapping this button activates a mode that enhances photos taken in dim environments by boosting brightness and clarity without adding filters or effects, according to WABetaInfo.
The night mode relies on software adjustments that increase exposure and minimize noise, allowing the camera to capture more details, particularly in shadows. Designed for low-light situations such as indoors or nighttime scenes, its performance can vary based on how dark the surroundings are; in extremely dark conditions, improvements may be subtle rather than dramatic.
Unlike some camera applications that auto-enable night mode, WhatsApp requires users to manually turn it on, giving them control over when to use it. This update enables users to take clearer low-light photos directly within the app, simplifying the process of sharing images in chats or status updates without needing third-party camera apps.
This feature is included in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android, available via the Google Play Store, with a gradual rollout planned over the coming weeks.
