Zoom has understandably been one of the most popular apps around these last few months as people have had to forgo in-person meetings — both personal and business — for online video chats. The desktop client has had a dark mode for a little while now, but Android users have had to suffer blinding menu screens before jumping into late-night calls. With the latest update, Zoom for Android finally gets dark mode and a few others new features to boot.
If you update the app to version 5.2.42588.0803 and activate the dark theme on your phone, Zoom will automatically switch to a nifty new dark version. There's no settings toggle for it that I could find, so it can only match your device settings, but this is still a great improvement.
According to the changelog, there are a number of other enhancements with this update, including aspect ration customization, new reactions, improved chat interface, and much more. Check out all the changes below:
