WhatsApp users have been eagerly awaiting ‘dark mode’ for months or even years.

But some of them have found a sneaky way of accessing the feature right now rather than waiting for its official release.

Dark mode turns the background colour of apps from white to black and is believed to cut down on battery usage.

WhatsApp is believed to be carrying out final testing of the feature, which will be rolled out to iOS and Android users at some point soon.

It might sound like a tiny change, but dark mode is actually highly anticipated and people are frustrated that it hasn’t arrived yet.

On Twitter, a few Android users are claiming there’s a way of accessing the mode immediately.

They said that all you need to do is open WhatsApp, copy a link to a YouTube into a chat and then open it so it displays ‘picture in picture’ inside the conversation.

The trick is working for some people, but not for others.
