Dark Mode for WhatsApp Web

The official Dark Theme for WhatsApp Web is not available yet. The feature is still under development and WhatsApp is taking a long time to release the dark mode for the web to ensure bug-free user experience.

As the dark theme is not available, when you open WhatsApp Web on your PC browser, you won’t get any direct feature to enable it. But if you want to know the trick to enable the dark theme on WhatsApp Web before its official release then you can follow our steps explained below. 

The trick was originally discovered by the smart Thales, a member of the WABetaInfo Discord Server Community: it’s really easy to apply, even if you have not good computer skills.

Following steps to enable dark theme on WhatsApp Web:

Open any browser on your PC and open the WhatsApp Web official page. (web.whatsapp.com)

WhatsApp Web


Login to your WhastApp account your the QR code with the smartphone having that same account.

After successfully login into your WhatsApp Web, right-click the mouse outside the chat and click on “Inspect”.

WhatsApp Web Dark Mode


Note: I am using my Chrome browser to apply this trick but you can use any browser for this.

The browser will show the console and code of the page. Search for <body class="web”> inside the code section(use Ctrl + F for searching the code) and replace “web” with “web dark”.

WhatsApp Web Dark Mode

Important: “web” is used for the default original theme which we are using and “web dark” is for the dark theme which is soon going to roll out by WhatsApp.

After editing the piece of the code press ENTER to save. You are done!

Now you can enjoy your WhatsApp Web dark mode but note that if you refresh the page open again from a different browser, you need to repeat the process again.  

If don’t want to go through these steps then you have to wait for WhatsApp for rolling out dark mode for the web. Until then try this cool trick and share this with your friends and family.

Chrome tabs group feature

 If you are one of those people who use Chrome browser with more tabs open at a time then there is good news for you. Google is rolling out a feature that will allow you to organize your tabs by grouping tabs together. With this new Chrome tabs organizing, you can group your tabs together and label them with a custom name and color. You can also move grouped tabs to reorder them on the tab strip.

Tabs Group in Chrome

The feature is rolling out from the next week but it is now available in Chrome Beta for one who is excited to test this feature now. I already tested the feature in Chrome Beta and for me, it is going to be one of the most exciting features. I usually work with many tabs open together and this feature is going to help me a lot by grouping tabs with a custom name so I don’t have to search the related tabs all around tab strip.

A pro tip Google suggested in their blog post related to the tabs grouping feature is that you can use emoji as a group name. Tab groups are customizable so you can decide how to use them. And just like regular tabs, your groups are saved when you close and reopen Chrome.

Google Chrome “tab groups” feature will be available for Chrome on desktop across Chrome OS, Windows, Mac, and Linux. Previously, the “group tabs” in Chrome were possible by using a third-party extension.

Gmail Search Filter

Gmail rolls out new updates adding a search filter for allowing users to narrow down the search results and help them to find a specific email more quickly. The new search filter for Gmail which Google calls “search chips” will appear just below the search box when you search for a particular keyword.

The new “search chips” feature for Gmail has many filter options to choose from, like ‘has attachment’, ‘To me, ‘Advanced search’, and many more. 

Here are the Gmail search chips filter options and their uses:

Any time: This filter option help you deciding how older the email in which you are searching now. There are options to choose from like older than a week, older than a month, older than 6 months, or older than one year.

Has attachment: This filter option helps you to separate those email which has some attachment files like spreadsheet or PDF in it. Earlier this feature was present accessible through Advanced search options in Gmail.   

Is Unread: This feature as the name suggests marks those emails which you haven’t read yet.

The filters options can be used in combination to narrow down the searches like if you know how older the email is and having some attachment files in it then you can use the ‘Any time’ and ‘Has attachment’ filter options to get the search result more quickly.

As Google acknowledges that, “we’ve heard from our users that searching in Gmail could be faster and more intuitive”. When the company first announced this “search chips” feature, there was no clarity about it would roll out for non-G Suite customers, but now the feature is live and available for all.

Difference Between Processes and Services in Task Manager in Windows 10.

Process Vs Service

One day, when I was working in my Chrome browser with a lot of tabs open, my browser started lagging, so I open the Windows Task Manager to close all connected processes. My eye suddenly get pointed to one more tab at the end named ‘Services’ and started wondering what is the use of this tab and how it is different from the Process tab?

So, after getting answers to all my questions, I decided to write this post to explain the difference between Process and Service and why they both are important to us.

Difference Between Processes and Services.

Let's start by taking a step back to look at desktop applications. By that, we mean the kinds of programs you use every day: your Chrome web browser; an email program such as Mail; and office tools like LibreOffice Writer. Each of these is launched via an executable extension.

A process represents one ‘instance’ of a computer program in the form of an EXE file. Launch two instances of Chrome or Writer, say and the same number of entries will appear in the Processes column.

Difference Between Process and Service

Processes you’ve launched appear under the Apps heading. Sibling processes are grouped in subheadings, so under Google Chrome, you might see two or more Google Chrome entries. A process always related to the app that is currently running on your PC and has a degree of desktop interaction to interact (an interface of some kind). 

Below Apps, in the Processes tab, you’ll see ‘Background processes’ and ‘Windows processes’ headings. Former entries relate in some way to apps you’ve launched, such as the notification area icon. The latter are elements of the Windows desktop itself. If you right-click a single Processes entry and then click ‘Go to details’, the Details tab will show the EXE file associated with that process. You can end any process by right-clicking on it and tab ‘End Task’.

Services do not have desktop interactions, so you’ll never see them directly. They might support a ‘visible’ desktop process, but many do not. A service is a process that runs in the background without any interaction with the desktop. The Print Spooler service, for example, runs invisible, just in case you want to print.

Services in Task Manager


In windows, almost all services run as an instance of the svchost.exe process (Service Host process). If you right-click an entry in the Details tab and choose ‘Go to service(s)’, Task Manager will switch to the Services tab and highlight an associated service or services and choose ‘Go to details to see if it has an associated process. 

Difference Between Processes and Services in Windows.

Processes Services
An instance of an executable program currently running. A background process that runs independently of any user interaction.
Can be launched by a user or by another process. Typically run without any user interaction.
Executes a specific task or set of tasks. Provides a specific function or feature to the operating system or other applications.
Uses system resources such as CPU, memory, and I/O devices. Can use system resources, but often run at a low priority to avoid impacting system performance.
Can be started automatically when an application is launched or manually by a user. Can be started automatically when the system starts up, manually by a user, or by another service or application.
Can be controlled by the user, task manager, or other applications. Can be controlled by the user, service manager, or other applications.
Created and destroyed as needed. Can run indefinitely until stopped or the system is shut down.

Google Lens

Google has added a new feature to Google Lens which is going to allow you to copy and paste handwritten texts from your smartphone to your computer screen. However, it only works if your handwritten notes are neat enough to understand by the Google Lens algorithm.

To use this feature, you must have the latest version of Google Chrome or you can also use the standalone Google Lens default app on Android. If you are on an iPhone then you can access this feature through the Google app, you will find a Google Lens button next to the search bar. You also have to log in with same Google account on both of the devices to copy and paste the text.  

Use Copy and Paste Feature of Google Lens.


To use this feature, update your Google app or Google Lens from the app store. Now point your camera at the handwritten note and highlight the part of note you want to copy.

Open any document in Google Docs where you want to paste the copied text, click on Edit, and then Paste. But remember that this feature only works properly if your handwritten note is neat enough.  

Google Lens


This feature needs a good handwritten note but still, it is a cool feature to work with. I am going to use this feature to convert my handwritten college note to a document file. Share your experience with this feature in the comment section below.

Google is also launching a pronunciation tool with Google Lens. You have to point your Google Lens camera on that word and click on ‘Listen’ to hear the actual pronunciation of the word. This feature is already available in Android and Google is planning to add this feature to iOS soon.  

How To Install Driver Updates Properly on Windows 10.

Device Driver Updates

Many of the hardware issue in Windows 10 is caused by device driver problems. A device driver is essential, which helps the hardware (such as a printer, monitor, network adapters, hard drive, graphic card, etc.) to interact with each other. Here are the two methods which you can use to resolve the issue related to device driver updates.  

What are drivers on a computer?


The most fundamental definition is that a driver is a piece of software component that lets the operating system and a hardware device communicate with each other.  

Drivers are a very important part of every Windows system. Up-to-date drivers are vital if you want to keep your PC running smoothly. They are the bridge between your operating system and hardware like your sound card, printer, and monitor. Any change on the software side, like a Windows tweak, could impact the way it communicates with those devices, so a driver update-either at the same time or soon after-may be essential.

However, a lot of drivers are rolled out through Windows Update, so in many cases, you won’t have to do anything. But what about those that Microsoft doesn’t deliver?

How To Identify out-of-date drivers on Windows 10.

If you want to get the list of drivers installed on your system then you can use Windows Command Prompt. Open your Command Prompt and type driverquery and press Enter. It will give you the list of all the drivers installed and their details with Link Date.

Device Drivers


The easiest way to identify out-of-date drivers is to use a third-party driver-update tool like Driver Booster. This free tool scans your PC, logs your installed drivers, and compares the result with an online library of the latest updates. Any that don’t match are highlighted so you can update them with a single click.  

How To Automatically Install Drivers on Windows 10.


From the Windows official, the Driver updates for Windows 10 are automatically downloaded and installed through Windows Update. If you are using the updated Windows 10, it means you already have the most recent drivers installed.

To update drivers using Windows Update:

1. Open Windows Settings and click on Update & Security.
2. Inside the Windows Update section, click on Check for updates button.

Windows 10 Driver Update.


After the completion of Windows Update, it will automatically download and install all driver updates for your system.  

How To Manually Install Drivers on Windows 10.


You can manually update a specific device driver on Windows 10 by using Device Manager. In these settings, you can update any specific derive which is showing some misbehave. To update the device driver, follow these steps:

Open Start and search for Device Manager in the search box on the taskbar. Open Device Manager.

Device Manager

Expand the category to see the names of the hardware device, right-click its name, and then click ‘Update driver. 

Update Driver

Click on the ‘Search automatically for updated driver software option.

Driver Update.


Now, if any update for that driver will be available then Device Manager will download and install it automatically.

If Windows isn’t able to install the new driver then you can use the second option ‘Browse my computer for driver software. It will redirect you to the manufacturer’s website and now you have to locate and install driver software manually by following their instruction.  

Driver Update.
