There's also a new sub section called 'Display' under the 'Chat's menu. Here, WhatsApp has moved wallpaper and dark mode. On WhatsApp, dark mode is called "dark theme". So now wallpaper and dark theme can be found under Settings > Chats > Display. WhatsApp has been making small changes and improvements for dark mode with every update. Dark theme is almost complete for Android at least and a stable release is expected soon.

WhatsApp is working on dark mode for iPhones as well. It's actually high time WhatsApp rolls out dark mode as the feature is widely available on apps and phones. WhatsApp appears to be making sure dark mode is ready without any bugs before it is available for users globally.
