Previously, we reported that dark mode is coming soon for WeChat. Well, the wait is finally over and the new update was launched just yesterday but here's the thing - only the iOS version for WeChat has the update. Android WeChat users will have to wait for theirs!

This is a surprise because before the update, it was announced that the Android WeChat dark mode testing was done before Apple's. According to the Tencent WeChat Team on Weibo forums, they have managed to cooperate and reached an agreement with Apple so maybe that's why they have it first so fast. Before there, there was a silly rumour about Apple might kick out WeChat if they don't update dark mode which is not true, as app developers are only required to switch to the iOS 13 kit.

Besides dark mode, the new WeChat update on iOS also improved voice messaging and users can now convert it to text format by swiping up. To add on, WeChat iOS users can also finally quote a certain message to reply as well as minimizing notes in Favourites, document previous and others to a Floating Window feature. Anyway, just like Instagram and WhatsApp, Apple iPhone users can make use of WeChat dark mode only if the iOS settings are already on the dark theme.

WeChat Android users will be getting the new update soon, so be patient! Stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
