NEW USER INTERFACE
In the article about the WhatsApp for iOS 24.9.74 update, we announced that WhatsApp was widely rolling out an updated green interface to everyone. This improvement was designed to offer a more fresh interface, including new illustrations and green buttons. A few hours ago, WhatsApp announced that their primary focus over the years has been on enhancing the utility of the app by introducing new features. However, as the app evolved with additional features, it became clear that the design also needed a refresh to keep the interface simple, approachable, and modern. In response, WhatsApp set out to create a more up-to-date interface while maintaining the essential features of the app.
WhatsApp just announced that new design updates are currently rolling out on iOS and Android to everyone, aimed at giving the app a fresh look and making it more user-friendly. The changes include a revamped layout and new icons designed to help users find what they need more quickly, as well as updated illustrations with added animations to offer a bit of fun. For the Android app, WhatsApp has introduced a darker dark mode, focusing on higher contrast and deeper tones to reduce eye strain in low-light settings, which also enhances visual appeal and legibility.
WhatsApp has also introduced a more modern, native bottom navigation bar on Android to help users find what they need more quickly. This new design places tabs closer to users' thumbs, providing a more intuitive navigation experience and aligning with common Android design practices. On iOS, sending photos and videos has been simplified with a new attachment layout. Instead of a full-screen menu, there's now an expandable tray, allowing users to access features like media, polls, documents, and more with greater clarity. Both the Android and iOS apps now offer chat filters, making it easier to focus on and locate important conversations. For a more in-depth look at the progress of the app updates, we suggest visiting the official Facebook Design website.
New design updates are available to almost all users who install the latest updates of WhatsApp for iOS from the App Store and WhatsApp for Android from the Google Play Store, and they are rolling out to everyone over the coming days.
