The instant messaging app WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, has undergone a facelift, and the updated version is currently available for iOS and Android users. According to Meta, the messaging platform now seems more modern, friendly, and simple thanks to its new design. The upgrade includes enhanced navigation, a fresh color scheme, and new icons and images, among other things.

Highlights:

• WhatsApp, owned by Meta, gets a fresh design on iOS and Android with cohesive green color and rounded icons.
• The update includes a darker Dark Mode for reduced eye strain and improved navigation for easier use.
• New features like chat filters and an updated attachment structure enhance user experience and accessibility.

The business claimed that the revamped WhatsApp gives a cohesive experience since it uses a constant green hue rather than a blue and green mix. According to Meta, the app's new shade matches the green emblem of WhatsApp, and the updated palette enables consistent color pairing across the whole application.

Furthermore, according to Meta, the business has been cautious in where it employs the color green and has chosen more neutral colors throughout the revamped app. WhatsApp also gets a darker "Dark Mode." For comparison, the application has been using a dark gray color scheme in dark mode on a few different systems. According to the manufacturer, the Dark Mode's richer tones and increased contrast help to lessen eye strain in low-light conditions.

WhatsApp announced that it has updated its drawings to reflect the new symbols and that the app's icons are now more rounded. Additionally, WhatsApp has incorporated new animations that, according to the app, offer it a more "playful aesthetic." The app's default chat wallpaper has also been redesigned with fresh doodles.

The Android version of WhatsApp now has a new bottom navigation bar. According to the firm, this arrangement allows for single-handed use and speedier scrolling because the tabs are closer to the user's thumb.

A new attachment structure for sharing images and movies is added to the iOS app. The app has an expanded tray in place of a full screen menu, which the business claims makes it easier for users to access available options when transmitting media, surveys, papers, and other types of content.

Recently, WhatsApp introduced chat filters to make it easier to find and access crucial conversations. Users of WhatsApp may now select from three types of chat filters: all, unread, and groups. On both iOS and Android apps, the filters now show up at the top of the inbox due to the navigation bar being shifted to the bottom of the screen.
