Everything You Should Know About the Upcoming Redesign of WhatsApp Channels List
WhatsApp is constantly adding new features to ensure that the app stays fresh and up-to-date. This includes not only new features, but also updates to existing ones to improve the overall user experience. Now, as the channel feature gradually grows in popularity, WhatsApp is testing a new interface for the channel list to improve the user experience of the app.
As reported by WhatsApp feature tracker, WABetaInfo, this feature was found in the new WhatsApp Beta for Android 2.24.4.19 update available to users who install the said update.
The report further states that this new interface will be similar to the current chat tab interface, providing a more familiar experience. This allows users to recognize and interact with new channel updates.
When will it roll out to everyone?
As mentioned earlier, the new channel list interface is only available to some beta testers running WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.24.4.19. However, the public version should be ready for release soon now that the feature has entered the official beta version of the app.
In related news, WhatsApp recently brought improved spam protection to the app by allowing users to block users directly from the lock screen. The instant messaging application owned by Meta announced the same in a message sent from its official account. This helps users save time when blocking someone by avoiding various sub-menus and the unnecessary hassle of searching and opening a conversation.
