WhatsApp Unveils Redesigned Android Beta: What Changes Can We Expect?

WhatsApp, the instant messaging application owned by Meta, plans to release a revamped user interface by introducing new colors and icons.

“After quietly developing a new revamped interface for the Android app over the past few months, WhatsApp is now ready to release it to a limited number of beta testers,” WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo reports.

According to a screenshot shared by WABetaInfo, a major update is available to a limited number of beta testers that includes a redesigned user interface. It features new icons that provide users with a more modern user experience by improving the overall visual appeal of the app.

In addition, the instant messaging platform updates the dominant theme color of both the light and dark mode with a new green color, as well as the fresh color look of the chat bubbles and the floating action button.

The report also revealed that this interface is also available to a limited number of beta testers who install the latest WhatsApp Business beta update.

“By introducing a new redesigned interface, WhatsApp aims to provide its users with a more modern and visually appealing experience. We believe this change not only demonstrates their commitment to improving the user interface, but also indicates that WhatsApp is actively listening to user feedback and staying on top of design trends,” WABetaInfo said .

The report also suggested that the Meta-owned app may gradually make small changes to the user interface, such as releasing new icons without a new color scheme. It’s only a matter of days before more users can try 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 is rolling out to more users in the coming weeks.
