Microsoft's GroupMe on Windows 10 finally (finally!) gets option for dark mode

Microsoft'due south chat app GroupMe has been a favorite focus of the staff at Windows Central for years. Information technology's a fun, light chat app that is available on literally everything, including simply straight up SMS.

Three years ago, Microsoft started calculation a night fashion to GroupMe on Android and iOS, but some reason, it never came to Windows 10 even though the app is continually updated. It's been a pop rant topic on our weekly podcast.

Finally, our prayers have been answered with version 2.44.seven.0, which seems to be going out to all users tonight.

Upon updating the app, the user should be switched to the new dark mode characteristic, bold their Bone is set also dark. Of form, you can manually override the function and choose light or dark, depending on your preference.

Microsoft has been paying a bit more attention to GroupMe in these last few months. The app recently picked up some minor integration with Skype, which was long overdue too. That new feature lets users commencement a quick Skype telephone call with the group without users being required to have a Skype business relationship (aka "Meet Now"). Microsoft too introduced some Fluent UI elements, including acrylic, over the concluding few years.

GroupMe may seem like an out of engagement service, only many college students, especially in the Us, rely on information technology for classroom collaboration (go along Twitter and search for #GroupMe). On iOS, it enjoys a 4.7 rating (out of v) from 1.3M reviews.

GroupMe is a classic case of Microsoft owning an excellent service, but non knowing what to do with it. Skype originally bought GroupMe, and so Microsoft bought Skype, where it has more often than not been on life support. The app could have been a Telegram competitor back in the mean solar day, but it now seems besides late. Either way, we're just glad to have dark mode as an option. Peradventure anytime we'll gain the ability to delete messages?
