WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.7.6: what's new?

WhatsApp has released a new Android update through the Google Play Beta Program, bringing the version for the business app up to 2.25.7.6.
What's new in this update? WhatsApp is releasing a new branding icon across the business app, and it's available to everyone!

In 2019, WhatsApp introduced a new splash screen for the Android application. The updated introduction featured a contemporary design that captured users' attention immediately upon launch, as it showcased a clean and minimalist layout accented by a vibrant color scheme. Users quickly noted and appreciated the modern aesthetic brought by the new splash screen, since the refined design was seen as a step forward in the visual evolution of the app. It appears that WhatsApp is taking another bold step in refreshing its brand identity, reflecting the global nature of businesses using the app and their expanding presence. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp Business beta for Android 2.25.7.6 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is introducing a new branding icon across the business app!

As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp Business has introduced a new branding icon appearing across various parts of the app, including the home screen, splash screen, and notifications. Unlike the previous version, which featured a "B" in the center of the logo, the updated design now includes a plus sign, indicating that the app might focus on the expansion of new business opportunities and growth potential. This small but significant change appears to represent growth, expansion, and the broader reach of businesses using the platform, while still preserving the core identity of WhatsApp.

The overall shape of the icon remains familiar, ensuring it always stays recognizable to users. The fresh design reflects a more global perspective, highlighting the role of the app in connecting businesses worldwide. Despite the visual update, it's important to mention that WhatsApp Business has not changed its core functionalities or its commitment to private communication. The tools that help small businesses interact with customers, streamline communication, and enhance productivity remain unchanged, as this update only focuses on refreshing the brand's visual identity. This means users can continue to rely on the app for efficient messaging and business management, with no disruption to their daily operations or communication processes.

It's worth noting that the new icon currently appears only on WhatsApp Business, indicating that the change is limited to the business app for now. There is no indication of any additional changes or tweaks, or a similar update for WhatsApp Messenger, as its icon remains unchanged. Details about its availability for the iOS app also remain unknown, but it's likely that a similar update is expected for iOS to ensure consistency across different platforms.

A new branding icon across the business app is available to users who install the latest update of WhatsApp Business beta for Android from the Google Play Store. Make sure to install this update to experience the refreshed branding logo across the app.
