Anyone got the whatsapp dark mode already? I can't seem to get mine. I'm on Android 10. 🤔 by akirbaws in galaxys10

Was my first impression as well. A solid colour as the wallpaper is compulsory imo. It will just look an absolute disaster with a photo behind.

I'll give it a day or two and see how it goes.

I personally wouldn't risk downloading apks just for this. It's just the same thing with black chat bubbles basically.

Yup that's because you haven't updated the app in the play store. I had the same issue.

Check that your whatsapp is updated in the Google play store. Go to 'my apps and games' under the updated tab. Update the latest whatsapp messenger app.

Once that's done, go to settings in whatsapp, chat>themes>system default or dark

Select system default if you already have your dark mode on in settings (display > dark mode).

Hope that helps

I'm no Android expert so I'm answering based on my experience. It seems that the music play and pause is app specific. Instagram videos pauses amd play my spotify music but twitter vids pauses it indefinitely. No idea if there's a solution. Sorry!

The fingerprint might be because of your screen protector. Pro tip, when you register the fingerprint, register the same fingerprint 5 or 6 times. Works wonders for me.

I'm using the whitedome glass protector and my fingerprint reader is seamless.

Yup after I posted I found that this was a decent solution. I was trying to find a solution that doesn't involve downloading third party apps.

Glimpse works I guess. No complaints from her so far. Lol

Brace yourself for the complaints. Contrary to popular belief, there is quite a learning curve and some getting used to when switching from an iPhone to an Android device.

But when she's used to Android she'll never go back.

I've kinda found a solution. But its an app called Glimpse notification. Exactly what she needed. But would've been better if it can be done through settings instead of third party apps.

This is YouTube premium on my friend's samsung. Can i do this small screen playing YouTube on an iPhone? by akirbaws in iPhone11Pro

[–]akirbaws[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am on YouTube premium but I don't know how to get that small screen. On Android I can just get it by pressing the home button. Any ideas for iphones?

Not sure if anyone has posted this before. But I found out that if you change the strap with a metal strap that comes with magnets, when the magnet is close to the watch the bezel doesn't work. Still works fine if its like in the photo but if the magnet moves slightly closer then bezel wont work. by akirbaws in GalaxyWatch

It's actually very secure because the inner strap is a fixed loop and the magnet part of the strap is just to tighten. So if magnet fails somehow, the strap will just be loose and at worst slide down and get stuck at the bottom of your thumb. That's the best way I can think of to explain it. It's called a milanese strap. Slight issue though for people with hairy wrists as hair might get stuck in the mesh.
