Before long you may have the option to watch Netflix recordings inside WhatsApp on your iPhone :
WhatsApp is dealing with another component for its iOS based application that would enable clients to stream Netflix video inside the informing application without leaving it.
Up until now WhatsApp users could only watch video from Facebook, Instagram or YouTube within the social messaging app. The app would direct users to the respective apps or a web browser if they tried opening a video from a video streaming app such as Amazon Prime Video or Netflix. But that is about to change as the Facebook-owned social messaging would soon enable users to watch videos from video streaming app without ever leaving it.
The caveat is that this functionality is currently being developed only for Netflix, leaving Prime users and users of other video streaming services to watch videos shared with them on the messaging app the conventional way. This means that when the feature is ready for roll out, Netflix users will be able to watch movie trailers and even episodes of a show shared with them on WhatsApp within its platform.

According to a separate report by the blog-site, the popular social messaging site is planning to implement dark theme on iPhones in two different ways. In first configuration, WhatsApp will use very dark colors for the table and cells background and in the second configuration, the company would use soft dark colors for table and cells background within the app. The report also states that a third configuration is also in works but the company is yet to implement it.
