WhatsApp is gearing up for a significant facelift in its Android app, bringing in some exciting changes to the user interface. In the upcoming design overhaul, WhatsApp’s top bar will sport a clean white color, while other user interface elements will flaunt a vibrant green palette.
This makeover is currently making its debut in the WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.23.18.18, accessible through the Google Play Beta program. However, it’s worth noting that not all beta testers have access to these changes just yet.
The redesign showcases a fresh and modernized appearance, with the top bar in white and other elements in striking green. The navigation bar has also been relocated to the app’s bottom, promising an enhanced user experience.
WhatsApp’s move toward this redesign aligns with Google’s Material Design 3 guidelines, ensuring it stays in step with industry trends.
While the revamped interface is still a work in progress, it’s expected to be part of an upcoming update. As with beta releases, refinements may occur before the final version reaches all users.
Notably, WhatsApp isn’t leaving iOS users behind. Similar interface improvements are in the pipeline for the iOS app, with changes spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.17.1.77 update.
In addition to the interface upgrades, WhatsApp has been focusing on enhancing media sharing. Users can now toggle to send high-definition (HD) videos within the app. Support for high-resolution image sharing has also been rolled out. With WhatsApp for Android 2.23.17.74 update, users can now share videos in impressive 720p resolution, a significant leap from the previous 480p standard.
WhatsApp’s commitment to improving its interface and features promises users a more refined and feature-rich messaging experience on both Android and iOS platforms. Keep an eye out for upcoming updates and enhancements from this leading instant messaging app.
