YouTube officially brings the Dark Theme to mobile and iOS

When Youtube introduced the dark theme to its website last year, people have been wondering when it would hit mobile.  From now on, there are no more creatures of darkness, the feature is rolling out today to iOS, while it’ll arrive for Android soon. Dark Theme is a lot easier on the eyes when browsing videos in a dimly lit or dark room. It also conserves battery on OLED displays, though it would’ve been nice to have an additional option that uses pure black (as opposed to dark grey) for additional power savings. The video below explaining the process: It’s a welcome addition nonetheless. Now you can toggle the feature on and off within YouTube’s app settings.

Now it will be easier for developers and programmers to find the best answers to questions submitted to Stack Overflow.

WhatsApp Updated the way its message deletion feature works

WhatsApp has quietly updated the way its message deletion feature works, that feature named the WhatsApp "delete for everyone" which was only allowing you to delete messages up to seven minutes after you send them.  WABetaInfo has noticed that the latest version of WhatsApp extends that time limit significantly to one hour, eight minutes, and 16 seconds. So now a new update will be available for IOS users. A new WhatsApp for iOS update (2.18.31) is available on AppStore. It is a bug fixes update, but it has the new “Delete for everyone” limit, that’s 1 hour, 8 minutes and 16 seconds. — WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) March 8, 2018 This extending over deletion delay means you now have far longer to delete messages sent by mistake,  or it can wipe out entire conversations from a friend’s phone. So I think that this additional time could help facilitate more temporary conversations on WhatsApp.
