NEW INTERFACE
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.20.10 update, we revealed that WhatsApp had plans to provide users with an improved interface. With the new revamped interface, WhatsApp aimed to better align the app with Material Design 3 by introducing new colors and icons. With the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.21.12 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we announced that WhatsApp was working on a new group chat event feature as a built-in reminder system for community group chats. In addition, WhatsApp is also rolling out the same revamped interface we previously announced last month!
As you can see in this screenshot, a significant update is available to a limited number of beta testers that includes a redesigned interface. It features new icons to offer users a more modern experience by enhancing the overall visual appeal of the app. In addition, WhatsApp is also updating the the predominant theme color for both light and dark modes with a new green color, along with a fresh color look for chat bubbles and the floating action button. It's important to note that this interface is also available to a limited number of beta testers who install the latest WhatsApp Business beta update.
We think that this update further confirms their commitment to enhancing the user interface. By introducing a new revamped interface, WhatsApp aims to provide a more contemporary and visually appealing experience for its users. In our opinion, this change not only showcases their dedication to improving the interface but also suggests that WhatsApp is actively listening to user feedback and staying up-to-date with design trends, since a lot of users have requested a similar redesign in these years. It's definitely clear that WhatsApp is taking steps to keep its app interface fresh and user-friendly. It's worth noting that WhatsApp might gradually introduce small changes to the interface, such as releasing new icons without implementing the new color scheme. In this case, it's just a matter of days before more users can experiment with the new interface.
The new interface is available to a limited number of beta testers who install the latest version of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store, and it is rolling out to more users over the coming weeks.
