NEW BOTTOM CALLING BAR
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.12.14 update, we announced that WhatsApp was rolling out a new interface for the calling screen. This update modernizes the bottom calling bar, enlarges the profile photo, and introduces a contemporary design, enhancing the overall appeal of the interface. In the past few days, the WhatsApp for iOS 24.14.78 update was released on the App Store. Currently, the official changelog doesn't provide useful information regarding which new features are available in the latest version of the app. However, we just discovered that WhatsApp is widely rolling out a new interface for the bottom calling bar to everyone!
The official changelog still includes a feature to manage default media upload quality right within the storage and data settings, as highlighted in our article about the WhatsApp for iOS 24.12.78 update. However, despite not being mentioned in the official changelog, we can confirm that WhatsApp is also releasing a revamped bottom bar for the calling screen. Building on the previous versions of the app, this latest update further refines the user experience while placing calls by redesigning the top part of the screen for better button visibility with a semi-transparent background and an improved bottom bar. By regularly updating and improving the interface, we believe WhatsApp shows its commitment to providing a better user-friendly experience while keeping the app modern.
If you don't have this feature, note that some accounts may receive it over the coming weeks, although it has not been indicated in the official changelog. Please stay ahead by regularly updating WhatsApp from the App Store and the TestFlight app to get this feature in the future in case you don't have it after installing this update. By staying proactive in updating your app, you can ensure that you're always equipped with the latest and most advanced features WhatsApp has to offer.
A new interface for the bottom calling bar is available for iOS users who install the latest update of WhatsApp from the App Store. Make sure to install this update to enjoy a better user experience.
